Another newbie speaking up. Silo overflow means that the modem dropped a packet and had to re-try to get it, which slows down the transfer time of whatever you were downloading. Pretty harmless in general. To reduce the number of silo overflows if you are getting lots fo them (check dmesg), get a faster serial port or run your modem at a slower speed. Hope that helps. Search mailing list archives at www.geocrawler.com (pick freebsd from the list).
