I see very often 'silo overflow on com0' (or the like) messages on the
console screen - though I have been using the system by dialing-in for several days now and did a lot of editing, typing, sz, etc.. over the com line
without noticeable problems.

Another problem I observed when working at com0 (via modem):

I started tn3270 to connect to an IBM host on the internet. The echo
behaviour seems to be strange - I don't get anything reasonable to see
on the screen. (dark, no echo) Unless I type ^C very often. Then I get
a flashing tn3270> prompt and if I press ^C often enough I can also abort
the session. (I set the TERM variable to vt100 when I did this).
