Hello

Thinkpad 390 2626-700 (PII-266 64Mo)

FreeBSD notbsdems.nantes.kisoft-services.com 4.0-STABLE
FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Mon Apr 24 13:02:58 CEST 2000
emss@notbsdems.nantes.kisoft-services.com:
/usr/src/sys/compile/THINKPAD  i386

sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
sio0: type 16550A

So i assume my box has real serial ports :).

I encounter lots of silo overflows while using userland ppp under Xfree.
- Under XFree86 4.0, approximately 250 Silo Overflows (SO) while fetching
mail & news (10 minutes).
- Under XFree86 3.3.6, approximately 220 SO for the same task.
- Shell mode, xemacs -nw & fetchnews generate 1 SO from time to time.

From the previous, i could think that XFree86 is responsible for the SO,
but one month ago this box was running 3.4-STABLE & XFree86 3.3.6 and I was
wondering what were these SO messages in freebsd-stable mailing list ;).

I don't really understand the point. Maybe i misconfigured my kernel. Well
all comments welcome.

Regards

Eric Masson
