Hi,

I seem to have a weird problem when using a modem connection and X11
simultaniously.

Whenever I start conection on my modem (it's on sio1) while X is running
X starts slurping up 50% of CPU time,and the system slows down
considerably. This happens for instance as soon as I start seyon, or
when ppp starts making an automatic connection.
As soon as seyon, ppp, or whatever stops using the modem, X drops
back to a modest few % of CPU time.

I have no idea how to identify the cause of this problem. It doesn't
seem to be a hardware problem; when using the modem in Window'95 there
is no slow-down of the system.

Can anybody give me a hint?

Much obliged.
