The hardware, yes. ``tty-level'' means the interrupt handler was able to stash all the incoming bytes into tty buffers, but the upper layers weren't able to drain the data from there in time. Either your machine is too slow to process the incoming data, or you might try increasing the amount of tty buffering. Don't ask for the knob to turn however... but you've got the source. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
