I have a PC connected to an ABCD switch box.  "A" goes to a printer;
"B" to a modem; and "C" goes into one of the serial ports on a DS2100.
I've discovered that if I switch away from the "C" position, I lose about
50% of DS2100 CPU cycles to the csh or getty sitting on the tty port.
I have "on nomodem" in /etc/tty.

What's the deal?
