The initialization code fails, possibly if there is something in the FIFOs. Reboot always cures it. Other than that, with increased serial buffer size they seem to be able to take in 115.2 PPP links with no visible problems. -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@cs.hut.fi home +358-0-8031121 work -4513377 fax -4555276 riippu SN
