Every one of those is at least one character lost. On your mouse that will mean erratic mouse behavior. On a PPP connection, it means packet loss and thus delays and throughput problems. And it can be *really* annoying on straight text connections. More annoying, *it isn't necessary*. Way back when I had a mere '486/33, the serial driver I wrote (for FreeBSD) was perfectly capable of handling high speed lines without character loss. Since my serial driver was written for FreeBSD 1.something, it probably won't even compile, much less run, on a modern FreeBSD. If I had the time, I'd port it but I don't...however, if someone wants to update my driver and get it included in FreeBSD, I'll be happy to donate the code and advice. : If no one knows how to fix it, does anyone have any idea as to how to supress : the messages? man syslogd man syslog.conf : Another question... Am I crazy, or is sio0 == COM1... if so, why the heck is my : MOUSE making my computer angry? sio0 == COM1. And I couldn't tell you.
