If you were running FreeBSD or 386bsd, I would suggest you fire up the converters, and run sio, which works pretty darn OK. I don't know offhand what the NetBSD dudes have for serial drivers other than the stock one. It is odd that you're having problems at 9600 baud, I would'nt have guessed you'd have trouble on a 486 with 9600 baud. Are you sure you have modem control,flow control, and all that mumbo-jumbo set up properly? -- Jaye Mathisen, COE Systems Manager (406) 994-4780 410 Roberts Hall,Dept. of Computer Science Montana State University,Bozeman MT 59717 osyjm@cs.montana.edu
