The connection fails frequently. This is FreeBSD straight from the 2.1.0 CDROM. The problem seems to get worse with the load on the connection (transferring 1 MB requires 6 resets at times). I get messages about SIO buffer overflows. The hardware is a 486-33 with 16 MB and a 16550A serial card attached to a 28.8 modem. I could guess that the CPU is the problem, but doesn't that 16MB count for anything? Thanks for the help. Terry Braun
