	I am running 386BSD 0.1 with patchkit 0.2 applied. I've also installed
cgd'scom driver. I've got a internal modem with a 16450 in it and it
gives me a lot of silo overflows (at 9600). I do not care too much about
the silo overflows but the problem is that slip seems to hang in the middle
of a file transfer.. The curious thing is that if I do :

stty -a </dev/com2 >/dev/null

when FTP hangs, it resumes execution normally..  I have even written a shell script which keeps on doing the above command and and then FTP never hangs..:-)
(though my PIDs are getting really large :-) :-) )

I must be doing something really silly!! Please would someone tell me
what I'm doing worng...?
