The UARTs are 16550, and the hardware flow control should be ok, ppp
operations are ok.

There is more. Reading form the sio(4) man page the error is reported as
follows:


  sio%d: tty-level buffer overflow.  Problem in the application.
 
     Input has arrived faster than the given module could process it and
some
     has been lost.


Could it be a problem with the tip application, to be eventually
reported as a bug?
