I tried this and:
./digiConfigure ... then
[root@lcjdap epcav1-3-4/dl]# ./digiDload

The problem is that my Digiboard has 16 ports not 2 and still it looks
like it isn't working to well... (et all actually):
[root@lcjdap ~]# cu -oe -lttyD0 -s19200 dir

So I tried compiling the new driver into the kernel... but:
It got the latest epca driver (epcav-1-3-4) from
ftp://ftp.dgii.com/drivers/linux/beta/async/40001450E2P.tar
