I'll disagree with a 486/25 laptop running 1 19.2k hardwired SLIP connection that gets overflows anytime I do any real 'transfers', and often overflows just typing across a compressed SSH connection. I originally had it at 115,200, that didn't work, stepped down to 57.6, then 38.4, now at 19.2, and I'm not going any lower because it just gets TOO slow. But it still overflows a lot; in typing tis paragraph, it's overflowed (and thus stopped dead for several seconds) no less than 6 times. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
