+1998/07/29 Version 0.5
+----------
+
+Driver now supports up to 4 yam modems.
+yam0 default to COM1 0x3f8 irq4
+yam1 default to COM2 0x2f8 irq3
+yam2 default to COM3 0x3e8 irq4
+yam3 default to COM4 0x3e8 irq3
+
+1998/09/01 Version 0.6
+----------
+
+Added : bitrate/baudrate configuration.
+Added : mcs file may be loaded from yamcfg.
+ One mcs file is affected to each bitrate.
+
+ mcs data for 1200 and 9600 bds are preloaded in the driver
+ but may be changed by yamcfg.
+
+options of yamcfg :
+
+ [iobase <iobase>]
+ [irq <irq>]
+ [bitrate <bitrate>]
+ [baudrate <baudrate>]
+ [duplex <mode>]
+ [hold <delay>]
+ [txdelay <txdelay>]
+ [txtail <txtail>]
+ [slottime <slottime>]
+ [persist <persistence>]
+ [load <bitrate> <filename.mcs>]
+
+/proc/net/yam gives the current configuration
+
+
+1998/09/12 Version 0.7
+----------
+
+A patch to the kernel tree 2.0.36 has been created.
+To patch the kernel, do the following :
+
+cd /usr/src
+cat PATH_OF_THE_FILE/yam08-2.2.1-patch.diff | patch -p0
+
+cd linux
+run "make menuconfig" (or other) to configure the yam options.
+
+------------
+
+The program yamcfg get or set the parameters of the yam driver
+yamcfg -h gives a minimum help
+
+Example setup of yam0 for 1 serial port (com2) :
+
+ file /etc/ax25/axports :
+ port0 F1OAT-9 9600 256 2 VHF (9600 bit/s)
+
+ commands :
+ setserial /dev/cua0 port 0 # to avoid conflict with yam driver
+ insmod yam
+ yamcfg yam0 io 0x2f8 irq 3
+ ifconfig yam0 hw ax25 f1oat-9 up
+
+
+
+Example setup of yam0,3 for 4 serial port (com1->com4) :
+
+ file /etc/ax25/axports :
+ port0 F1OAT-9 9600 256 2 VHF (9600 bit/s)
+ port1 F1OAT-8 9600 256 2 UHF1 (9600 bit/s)
+ port2 F1OAT-7 9600 256 2 UHF2 (9600 bit/s)
+ port3 F1OAT-8 9600 256 2 UHF3 (9600 bit/s)
+
+ commands :
+ setserial /dev/cua0 port 0 # to avoid conflict with yam driver
+ setserial /dev/cua1 port 0 # to avoid conflict with yam driver
+ setserial /dev/cua2 port 0 # to avoid conflict with yam driver
+ setserial /dev/cua3 port 0 # to avoid conflict with yam driver
+ insmod yam
+ yamcfg yam2 irq 5
+ yamcfg yam3 irq 7
+ ifconfig yam0 hw ax25 f1oat-9 up
+ ifconfig yam1 hw ax25 f1oat-8 up
+ ifconfig yam2 hw ax25 f1oat-7 up
+ ifconfig yam3 hw ax25 f1oat-6 up
+

+
+Good test !!!
