I just set up pppd on a sparc 1+ running netbsd 1.1 connected to a US
Robotics Courier modem.  In my system log, I'm consistently getting
messages like

Jul 23 14:07:41 imajica /netbsd: zs0a: fifo overrun
Jul 23 14:08:22 imajica last message repeated 59 times

pppd is configured for 38400.  It's difficult to make a good connection
and transfers larger than around 60k time out.

Any suggestions?  

Thanks. -- John, image@leland.stanford.edu
