I installed the Maxwell 1200V on 2.9BSD. While the adds state 3451
compatability, there are some differences.
The biggest is that all the responses end with \n\r rather than \r\n.
This breaks all the send/expect sequences.
You can copy the 3451 driver, and change the send/expect sequences, or
possibly just mung up L.sys (ONLY if you have no other way...).

When will these manufracturers get it through thick heads that not every
user of these products is a hacker hitting keys on a PC ?????
The Maxwell is only similar to, and certainly not compatable with, a 3451.
Any body want to take legal action for false advertising???

These ideas are probably not even mine, much less my employer's.
