I am trying to set up a FreeBSD 2.1 server to receive incoming data
using the high speed serial device.  The data arrives through a satellite
feed at 115k bps.  The kernel recognizes the 16550A on sio1 at boot time, but
I receive buffer overruns when trying to use /dev/cuaa1 or /dev/ttyd1?

What further configuration of the device needs to happen and which is the
correct device for incoming high speed traffic?

Thanks,
Paul
