Center (ZDV) U of Tuebingen, FRG Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1992 09:40:17 GMT Lines: 38 Hi out there, I am working now for two weeks again with 386bsd, and almost everything is working fine. But there are still two unresolved Problems. 1. COM-ports: I am using the COM-Multiport-Driver and 16550-USARTs. Im still getting SILO-Overflow's at 38400 Baud. Due to the fact that I am using a 14400 Baud Modem with V42bis, I would want to use the fastest possible COM-Speed. Question: Is there a driver (or driver-configuration) that will work at these speeds? What will happen if i'd change FIFO_TRIGGER_4 to 8 or 14 in the Multiport-driver. Are the lost chars due to getting too many interrupts, or is the response-time to a given interrupt to long? Will a COM-Driver that uses CTS/RTS do any better? 2. SLIP: (or even better routing between SLIP and WE0) My machine is setup to use an WD8003E-Card as an Ethernet- interface. One other PC is connected via SLIP. Each of the interfeaces works fine. But the requests dont get routed towards the different networks (Etherent, SLIP). The route- Manualpage states that this is done automaticly. I suspect that I am doing something wrong. Would someone be so kind and explain to me what I have to do to get the routing to work? Thanks! For the first Question I think I should add that the Machine is NOT heavily loaded, has 16 Megs of RAM and an 486/33Mhz. Thanks a lot for not getting tired in answering dumb questions.
