Subject:   Hayes ESP and interrupt-level buffer overflows
Message-ID:  <19961121064628.9446.qmail@mediacity.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have a Hayes ESP card hooked to as Motorola BSPro running at 230400.

I've got the Hayes ESP board set to:

Enhanced
4x mulitplier (I use 57600 baud within iijppp)
hardware rts/cts
8 bit interface
(I've run with the FIFO enabled and disabled and get the same behavior)

For the most part things work, but when I ftp stuff, I get
    
    sio2: X more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total xxx),

where X is 3 to 32, and my throughput drops off.  Sometimes I can
do 100K xfers and get around 11.2KBs, which would seem around the
limit cuz I have to run 2x56kbps B channels where I live.

However, more often than not I get the sio overflow messages and
the performance drops to between 2 and 6 KBs.

The boot reports:

sio2 at 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 5 on isa
sio2: type 16550A : ESP

and I have the config port set to 0x140.

The machine is a P5-90, running -current.

Have I misconfigured something?  Is anyone out there having better luck
than I?

Thanks,
