I'm running yesterday's 4.3 BETA and tracking stable. I've seen some mail about this problem so I send this info. bash-2.04$ uname -a FreeBSD big.psf.his.org 4.3-BETA FreeBSD 4.3-BETA #7: Sat Mar 10 15:21:53 PST 2001 root@big.psf.his.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/BIG i386 bash-2.04$ dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2001 The FreeBSD Project.

Ive been installing ports through my US-Robtics modem 10 or 20 meg per day or so. I found somthing on netbsd's kernel that allowed tuning of the fifo in their kernel but LINT kernel-config doesn't seem to mention anything I was hoping to find somthing in sysctl I could tweak but no luck so far. I think I've seen this since 4.0-RELEASE when I started running freebsd. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
