Serial performance has increased a lot with NetBSD-0.9. It's quite
possible to run at 38400 bps on a 386/40 and only get a couple of silo
overflows. However the system on which we (Heiko and me) do this
locks up every couple of days and we *suspect* that's somehow
connected to the com driver or the new interrupt code.
