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.
