Date: Sat, 1 Apr 1995 17:02:27 -0800 From: "Mike O'Brien" Message-Id: <95Apr1.170237pst.111114-3@aero.org> Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok, I'm running Release 2.0R from the CDROM on a Pentium-90. I put in the one-line kernel fix for PPP and fired off the daemon, pointed at a 14.4 modem which is connected to an Annex box. It's an ARQ connection so presumably it's just about error-free. The serial port on my box has a 16550 in it. There aren't any SIO flags in the kernel config file so presumably the FIFO's working. Nevertheless, 'pppstats' shows a relatively high number of errors, apparently on the order of 5% of packets. The question is, should I be worried about this? It looks worrisome to me. Add to this the fact that X applications sometimes seem to get bogus fonts loaded, looking like messes with horizontal lines in them. Restarting the X server is necessary to get rid of these fonts; typically the restarted X server will have the offending fonts loaded correctly by the same applications that misloaded them the last time, but other fonts which were fine before will now be bogus. Anybody seen this? Anybody have a clue? Mike O'Brien
