Hmmm it seems I didn't put much information in my request... Sorry about
that.
I am running FreeBSD stable on a 164sx system. The SRM is of course set
up as 9600bps and therefore, I've set the serial console the same. I can do
many "show" commands in the SRM console without loosing a single character.
FreeBSD boots up, no loss there. I begin loosing characters when entering
runlevels. As soon as the SCSI subsystem is done with it's initialization,
I begin loosing chars.
I know my cable has CTS/RTS hooked right as the SRM is doing fine (and as I
tested the cable using minicom at 115200).
My console LOGIN gets screwed real bad. I found out that by using "ub"
in the gettytab entry for unbuffered IOs helps a bit but I still am missing
chars. It's as if the chars where sent out too fast.
