Hello fellow 386BSDers...
Just a quick word to let you know that I've installed the
2.4 patchkit on zap without a hitch.
It's great to have my machine back at 38400 bps without the
annoying silo overflows anymore!!!
I've also installed Stefan's (berry@max.IN-Berlin.DE) patch
to the sio driver that uses bit #6 of the minor device number of the
serial devices to determine whether hardware flow control should be
set on a port (this is similar to what the FAS driver does in the
SVR3 world; I think it's great).
Thanks again to the whole Patchkit crew!

PS. The instructions that come with the patchkit aren't all that clear
on what is required to get the SIO driver installed. I had a fairly
easy time, having been a user of cgd's driver before, but I guess the
explanations should go in the FAQ for the new users.
