Are you using an internal or external modem? You have to settle with the type of UART provided on an internal modem. The internal U.S. Robotics V.90 Sportster I use has a 16550A UART. The problem could be caused by paging to a PIO IDE drive. Paging has a very high priority and PIO IDE uses lots of CPU cycles. I have a 486 that suffers interrupt-level and tty-level buffer overflows because of this. What type of CPU, motherboard, and harddrive are you using? As long as you are using the modem for something like PPP, SLIP, or ZModem, this error is annoying but not critical. It's annoying because time must be spent resending data but not critical because the error is virtually always detected. 45 silo overflows isn't much to worry about.
