I've been having some problems with one of my serial lines - I use tty2 to
connect to a mac running kermit .98.  This worked fine under stock 1.5, but
after going up to 386, The line hangs after a few hundred characters. This
only happens during large, non - interactive transfers (but has been seen
to happen with transfers as small as ls -l of a big directory!)
Keyboard INT from the terminal clears the problem, and it seems that the
offending process is blocked for FS. Has anyone experienced similar
difficulties?
What makes this strange is that tty1, a 2400 baud modem, exhibits no such
behavior.
