It has an old UART chip without FIFOs, and I keep loosing characters. I've tried recompiling the kernel, but, without knowing what to change, this has done little good. I've seen lots of references to patches that fix this problem on old versions of NetBSD, but none for 1.2. Does anyone know where I could find the patched com.c code (or the diffs that I need to apply)? thanks | _o ) mah@eecs.tulane.edu | | Mark `Hex' Hershberger `\< New Orleans, LA ( | | (*)/(*) c[] hex@eecs.tulane.edu | It is hard to experience solitude alone. -- Merton Hershberger
