Lines: 20 Message-ID: <4d8ptf$dh6@claudia.surfsouth.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: dial-alb1-8.surfsouth.com X-Newsreader: NeoLogic News for OS/2 [version: 4.2] I have a problem which I could surely use some help with: I have a Pagesat HS Data Receiver feeding my PC a satellite news feed at 115200 bps in serial port 2. The data flows one way only using only 2 pins on the RS232 connector - data in and ground. I tested the equipment under dos, and the 16550 serial port handled the 115200 fine with no lost data. After installing FreeBSD 2.1 and INN and getting this working, I installed the satellite reception software and now get the following error message: Jan 13 12:19:21 news /kernel: sio1 6316 more tty-level buffer overflows reading the man page for sio shows that the data is coming in too fast, but I know the hardware can handle it. I configured the Pagesat program to use cuaa1 as the com port. Is this correct? What else can I look for to correct this? Thanks! Don. Don Adams Leesburg, GA dwadams@surfsouth.com
