I just enabled COM_BIDIR in my kernel, set up the devs, the ttys file,
the comcontrol, crtscts for the devices, etc.  Fine.  I can dial out
peachy.  I can dial IN almost peachy.

Dialins work great except that the console receives, upon connect,
this missage:

sio1: 1 more silo overflow (total 2)

The total rises with each error (obviously).  This happens with both
std.9600 and std.19200.  Each appear to work great except for this.

Is this error normal?  Is it something to worry about?  How do I shut
it up?  Thanks...

p.s. someone please point me to the FAQ, especially the modem
section...  :-)  I saw the one posted here, but the post was a but odd
and tin didn't save it all correctly (made a mess, actually...)
