Sorry if this is a bit 'me-too-ish' but I would second this request.
Since being upgraded (or should that be downgraded?!) to solaris 2.3
our Calcomp Drawingboard II digitizer refuses to talk to our sun.Having stuck a terminal between digi' & 'puter v.digit does not seem

Bye, Rob Poole.
You should look at using v.digit2. It solved a similar problem for another
person who couldn't get their Altek digitizer working with v.digit running
under Solaris 2.3. This assumes though, that you have a format file under
$GISBASE/etc/digitizers for you digitizer, and that you use digitcap rather
than digcap (found under $GISBASE/etc).
