Can someone help me. The system I work on has serial port driver problems
we are running on a 486/50 and have 2 multiport cards connected with
5/soon 6 incoming modems. The first line is a 2400 locked at 2400 and we
haev no problems with that, but fi you connect to the high speed modem
(zyxel 16k8 locked at 19200) with anything like a 2400 /9600 we get
big problems with buffer overflow.
ie zmodem downloads get stuffed up unless oyu specify -w 1024 as the
option to set the buffer to 1024 characters (-w 2048 works ok too I am told)
and doing a long listing like a directory listing on the modem drops
makes garbage out of the later characters.
We are running 386bsd (latest patches I think). Does anyone have this
problem as alot of users are complaining about it and its anoying
Is their a updated serial driver or whatever that wil fix this?
_Please_ someone help me
