Hi,

I have discoverd that an old 1.3e kernel with a date sometime in March gives
almost perfect serial port/modem performance(only 5 silo overerflows when doing
'sup -a -d' for the whole of pkgsrc) and what appears to be full speed.

Later 1.3.2 kernels and 'snapshot' kernels all regularly give anything up to 72
silo overflows at a time and data transfer rates can drop to a crawl! Why is
this?

Is this something peculiar to my system(RiscPC), or is it something more
widespread?

regards,
Dave
