[vcf-midatlantic] Heath H-11 line time clock question

[Richard Cini]

Thanks Jonathan. 

The H11 uses the LSI-11 (M7270) which I don’t think has a soft-switch for the LTC.

The Emulex card *must* work with the LTC enabled some time after boot, or it wouldn't work with 2.11BSD (and it does -- that's what I use mine for). I don't remember if the UC07 has a software-controlled LTC function, some of the other Emulex devices do. Wouldn't be hard to kludge on to the system if it doesn't.
