I'm in the process of setting up our new server (FreeBSD 2.1.6),
and I noticed that quite a few "tty overflow" errors are being
generated (even while doing simple stuff like dialing out with
minicom).

I noticed this previously on my own machine (while I was evaluating
FreeBSD), and it didn't seem to cause any problems, but I'm not
sure if this will be a problem with four modems going at once.

Is this a significant error, or is it more an informational type
thing of no great importance?
