[ this is prolly better discussed on the list ]
   
   I just setup a NetBSD box on a sparc IPC.  It's running the 
   SPARC_SCSI3 binary kernel.  I untarred your X11R6 distribution 
   and when I run it, I get:
   
   	/netbsd	zs1b: fifo overrun.
   
   I was wondering if you would happen to have seen this error before?
   It occurs when I move the mouse in X while X just hangs.

zs1b is the modem's serial port.  i get those about once a week
on my elc, but it's never been a problem.

how far does X get ?
