Just to be exact: FAS was developed and released by me, not by Jim Murray.
However, FAS is based on an early release of Jim Murrays ASY replacement
driver for Microport.

This is the source of your problem. The minor device numbers have
changed from FAS 2.07 to 2.08. Actually, this is mentioned in the
release notes. You should use the default values for FAS 2.08,
that is, 80, 81, 208 and 209, respectively.

The mode you selected for the dial-out devices is half duplex (output
only) hardware flow control. This wasn't available in FAS 2.07.
