Is everyone getting the same response?  slip from 386/25 running bsd to
a 486/50 running slip8250 & tn3270 yeilds about .8k/second???

funny, I am using slattach /dev/com2 38400, that should be damn faster than
800 bytes/second...

also, as far as the silo overflows , I seem to only get them when I 
have a packet collision.  dont type anything until after xfers, and turn
off the damn hashing, and you dont get any overflows...  this maybe a side-
effect.
