I have a Digiboard PC/8e installed and users complain of weird terminal
activity occasionally happening.  One common symptom is a run away prompt,
like the <Enter> is being held down.  Other complaints of sporatic
screen redraws, line drops etc are common.  I have four standard serial
ports plus this Digiboard and there are no complaints if the users dial in
on the other regular serial lines.  There are also complaints about general
performance.  File transfers are slower etc.  The phone company assures me
that lines are all clean (which I take with a grain of salt).
Has anyone else noticed these sort of problems?  Do I not have something
setup properly or does this sound like a hardware conflict?
