I've been getting these ever since I switched to FreeBSD (from running Linux
on the same hardware) a month or so ago.
The replies I've seen tell me either that my hardware is faulty (it isn't),
my modem/tty settings are wrong (they aren't) or that this is a known problem
with 2.1.5 which is fixed in 2.2-CURRENT (not true, still seeing them).
Is the problem worse when you have a lot of disk activity? Do you, by any
chance, have a SCSI controller? Perhaps an Adaptec 274x/284x?
Ian.
