Hellmuth, could you elaborate a little more. This doesn't make much sense. (Are these serial card types being swapped?) 2. I have set up a slip connection running at 9600 baud and I get the com1 silo overflow problem that people are posting. I have seen no answers for this problem. (I'm hoping there is one.) I have updated the com driver etc. and it is still foo'd. I noticed that ftp is very slow, and that NFS doesn't function correctly across the slip connection. Typically it hangs when I execute the mount or after a couple of commands directed against the remote partition. telnet and rlogin work fine. 3. If number 1 above is the com silo overflow fix, does it also fix the NFS and ftp problems? 4. I noticed ps barfs with the -u option. I installed the kvm.c patch. I love this OS so far. I would put up X, but I just don't have the disk space. With NFS I could store the system source elsewhere and then would have room for the X server stuff. Any and all fixes are welcomed for these problems. Thanks, -- Rick Weldon I-NET Inc. (Pentagon, 7TH Com Group) E-mail: rick@hq.af.mil Phone: 703-695-5060
