I don't know about Andi Maier's device, but egd has been updated to work
with Solaris 8. Get the egd-0.7 distribution and replace egd.pl by
ftp://ftp.lothar.com/linux/egd.pl.1.46  Unfortunately, Brian didn't
annnounce that fix. Egd 1.46 works fine on my Solaris 8 host for several
weeks by now.

Cheers,
Nils
