- Hi out there,
-
- I am working now for two weeks again with 386bsd, and almost
- everything is working fine. But there are still two unresolved
- Problems.
-
- 1. COM-ports: I am using the COM-Multiport-Driver and 16550-USARTs.
- Im still getting SILO-Overflow's at 38400 Baud. Due to the
- fact that I am using a 14400 Baud Modem with V42bis, I would
- want to use the fastest possible COM-Speed.
-
- Question: Is there a driver (or driver-configuration) that will
- work at these speeds? What will happen if i'd change
- FIFO_TRIGGER_4 to 8 or 14 in the Multiport-driver.
- Are the lost chars due to getting too many interrupts,
- or is the response-time to a given interrupt to long?
- Will a COM-Driver that uses CTS/RTS do any better?
-
- 2. SLIP: (or even better routing between SLIP and WE0)
- My machine is setup to use an WD8003E-Card as an Ethernet-
- interface. One other PC is connected via SLIP. Each of the
- interfeaces works fine. But the requests dont get routed
- towards the different networks (Etherent, SLIP). The route-
- Manualpage states that this is done automaticly. I suspect
- that I am doing something wrong. Would someone be so kind
- and explain to me what I have to do to get the routing to work?
- Thanks!
-
- For the first Question I think I should add that the Machine is NOT
- heavily loaded, has 16 Megs of RAM and an 486/33Mhz.
-
-
- Thanks a lot for not getting tired in answering dumb questions.
