Ok, I have a 16port BocaBoard.  Back on 2.1.0 we got everything working
with little to no problems, I've since upgraded to 2.2-GAMMA (970205), and
just now 2.2.6.  All I have in my notes are:

    The kernel is patched in sio.c to set ftl_init to 8 instead of 14 to
    avoid silo overflows.

Now, I vaguely remember this, but it seems that 'ftl_init' has disappeared
from the source in sio.c, in 2.2.6.  I cannot seem to get these errors to
go away.  Although, by throttling down to 19200 I can reduce the frequency
of the errors.  The thing is, this used to work fine at 57600, for months,
in the 2.2-GAMMA kernel.

So where do I look now, to do what I used to be doing with 'ftl_init'?

Also, even though I do get these errors, I can connect to the modem (using
kermit) and dial back into another modem on the same board--the AT
commands seem to work OK, (every thing is echoed without problem), but
when I connect up to the other modem all I receive is garbage.  Now I also
vaguely recall doing something else here--but once again I cannot place
what it was.  I have /etc/rc.serial setting the rate to 19200, I have the
getty using std.19200, I have run over these things several times, and
cannot understand (or remember) why this is happening.  Any suggestions?
