I'll get bunches of these though nothing 'bad' seems to happen. Also I have the same problem I had with 2.0.5's 'sysinstall' in that my qic-80 tape is not always recognized and same deal with my mitsumi. So far as the serial I/O goes I can't set the dte/dce rate any higher than 19200. When I do tip or cu will eventually crap out and I'll have lots of sio overflow messages. Wish I could be more precise as to the exact message. Can check though. Thanks, Chris
