It's perhaps possible that your terminal is sensible against modem control signals? Though i've been using comconsole in a similar environment, and only noticed that the output drops at the time the sio devices are being probed. (Even this doesn't happen with a modem-control insensitive terminal however.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
