I don't know what the problem is, but it's not normal. I have a 386DX33 with 8250 sio (ie no buffering), and a 28.8k modem and most days I don't see any silo overflow. >- I am driving the serial port at 115K You could try turning it down to, say, 56k. It's unlikely to be the bottleneck even with a 28.8k modem. -- Richard -- "... we were extremely sceptical, like most people, about 'conspiracy theories of history' ..." - The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail
