	I set up a serial line between 2 of my macs and used a terminal
emulator to let it access a shell with getty and it worked just fine. Even
with the machine using tty00 for a ppp connection, it worked alright using
the printer port for the serial connection to my other mac's modem port.
But, after I fired up ppp I started getting a couple of messages from
zstty0....:

Dec  8 02:31:45 /netbsd: zstty0: 1 silo overflow, 0 ibuf floods
<snip>
Dec  8 03:19:33 /netbsd: zstty0: 1 silo overflow, 0 ibuf floods
<snip>
Dec  8 03:21:05 /netbsd: zstty0: 3 silo overflows, 0 ibuf floods

	I didn't notice any problems... and actually at the time I wasn't
using the terminal for anything. It was just sitting there with a login
prompt. I had been using it before I fired up pppd and it worked just
fine. Is it just overtaxing my serial ports or is it something else?

	Thanks!

	P.S. I've got my NetBSD machine acting as a quasi-gateway right
now... I can access the net frm my other machines through a telnet to the
gateway machine, but I haven't set up ipnat yet... is there a howto
somewhere for that?
