Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am using MNP5 on the 9600 and 2400 bps
modems. I will check into the protocol netgotiations.
I also have noticed that using sp#38400 in the gettytab entry (i.e.
16550 to modem locked at 38.4k) produces problems. Switching back to
19200 solves some of my problems. (I was having connect trouble from
another USR at 14.4 when the port was locked at 38.4k.) Are there
known bugs in the sio drivers for going this fast? Both machines have
550 UARTS, both are 486's, and both are unloaded at the time of
testing...
I recall similar trouble when I ran FreeBSD 1.1, but was hoping that
it had been worked on.
