I'm having similar problems. Black link works inconsistantly. I've tested this on three computers, two with Linux (2.4.21 and 2.6.1) and one with WinXP.
On my 83+, it works most of the time, but it can never transmit the ION shell - it gets most of the way done, then it times out. I was able to get the ION shell transfered with a different computer. On an 86, it would always start transmitting a file and timeout about halfway through. I haven't been able to get a peep out of an 89.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Me three, the latest Debian packages have the same effect. Seems as though I can do only one or two good transmissions, and then I get timeouts. Really, really annoying. This should be fixed ASAP.

I'm using tilp on my Mandrake 9.1 linux box.
I don't have any kernel modules compiled in, from what I understand it should still work as root, which I am content with.
The only problem is that it isn't working.
I'm using TI's black serial link, with a TI92+ AMS 2.05
Whenever I check status it times out, I even tried increasing the timeout.
I swear I have been able to send 1 file w/o patch, but the only problem is this isn't consistant.
Any help?
Feel free to IM me (AIM protocol) zdude255
Do you have the 'tiser' kernel module loaded ?
You need a kernel module to use this cable without being the super-user.
I am trying to use it as super user but it is still not working.
root is the su on Linux, I don't care if only su can use it, I just need it to work as su

I forgot to say that I'm using an 89 with the Black Serial link, Knoppix hd-install (which = Debain)
