Date: 1 Oct 1993 16:07:25 -0700 Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 15 Message-ID: <28id7d$c8r@goodman.EECS.Berkeley.EDU> NNTP-Posting-Host: goodman.eecs.berkeley.edu I have been using NetBSD 0.8 for some time now, and am very happy with it, except for one thing: the performance of serial i/o. I have a 14.4 kbps modem and would like to be able to run it at 14.4, however the lossage is too high. I have to use it at 9600, and still have constant silo overflow errors, and so I doubt that my throughput is actually 9600bps. Has NetBSD fixed this stuff in the latest release? I looked at the file CHANGES on agate, and couldn't find anything. But since the com and lpt support in 0.8 are easily its greatest shortcomings, it would surprise me if nothing was done in these areas. alan pearson. alanp@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu -- alan pearson alanp@cory.berkeley.edu
