I'm using slip to connect to the internet at 38400 on a 14.4 modem, and I'm also running X11R5. Every time I move the mouse (a mouseman on /dev/sio01) while there is some slip activity, all sio devices go dead for 5-60+ seconds. My configuration is: * an 8 port serial card (hostess 8) * mouseman mouse on /dev/sio00 * vt100 on /dev/sio01 (generally not used) * a 14.4 modem on /dev/sio02 All of the serial lines are recognized as 8250s instead of 16550s (which they are), but I've never had any problems with fifo overflows or any other serial problems. Any hints are greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone have patches to sio.c for the hostess8 card? paul -- #include <stddisclaimer.h> | Paul Dokas Fnord | pbd@msen.com
