1. Hellmuth, could you elaborate a little more. This doesn't make much
sense. (Are these serial card types being swapped?) 

2. I have set up a slip connection running at 9600 baud and I get 
the com1 silo overflow problem that people are posting. I have seen 
no answers for this problem. (I'm hoping there is one.) I have
updated the com driver etc. and it is still foo'd. I noticed that
ftp is very slow, and that NFS doesn't function correctly across
the slip connection. Typically it hangs when I execute the mount
or after a couple of commands directed against the remote partition.
telnet and rlogin work fine.

3. If number 1 above is the com silo overflow fix, does it also fix 
the NFS and ftp problems?

4. I noticed ps barfs with the -u option. I installed the kvm.c patch.

I love this OS so far. I would put up X, but I just don't have the 
disk space. With NFS I could store the system source elsewhere and
then would have room for the X server stuff. 

Any and all fixes are welcomed for these problems.
Thanks,
