If you have anything to offer, I'd really appreciate it. I'm running the April snapshot of 2.0 on a pc that is hooked up to a network with the 3com 509b board. When I attempt to do a file transfer over the serial port, the machine hangs. Sometimes I get a warning: messages saying the silo buffer is overflowwing (I have a UART16550A). I am connceting with a 28800 modem, and between the pc and the modem I have tried 38400 and 115200. This happens when I try transfering a file using any of the following applications: 1. netscape over ppp 2. ftp over ppp 3. rz/sz 4. tupload over term (the term program, originally written for Linux) It seems as though things have gotten worse now that I've added the ethernet interface. It used to rarely hang. Now it does within an instant of attempting file transfer. I'm thinking of trying out 2.0.5R. Do you have enough of a clue as to what the problem might be to say that it might be eliminated in 2.0.5R? Thanks, Matt Englehart
