I tried to connect a  USRobotics Sportster Modem to my 386BSD box
and had a series of silo overflows and dropped characters. Is there
a way to use this modem (at a reasonable speed) with 386BSD?

Presumably I'll need to get a new serial card, but do I need 
any sw upgrade?  (BTW I have patches up to 0.2.3).

Thanks
