Can anyone tell me what exactly this message means.  

> kernel log messages:
> sio1: 25 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 25)

This message is coming from a 486/DX 33, 20 MB Ram, running FreeBSD
3.1.  I have a USR V.90 internal modem on sio1, which I am running ppp
over. I also am running NATD between an internal network and the ppp
connection in my house.   I know the message is related to the modem
and most likely not FreeBSD, but an not sure of the exact problem and
where to start.  When I had a Rockwell 56 flex modem in the same box I
never saw this message.  It showed up when I switched modems.  The old
modem was connecting at 46-48K most of the time, and the new one is
running about 51K most of the time.  I also have noticed the errors
shows up  when I am pushing a lot of data across the ppp link.  

Do I have a bad modem, or is the extra speed I am pushing through the
port too much on an old 486.

Thanks in advance for any information
