I know that our Motorola VME system crashes when (presumably) clist over-runs on receives. Other System V.3 users report the same problem. From what I've read, CBM worked from an early V.4 port provided by Motorola. This can be allieviated somewhat by setting proper handshaking (x-on/x-off). If the far end misses the x-off though, it's PANIC again. I trust that you've already mailed this report to bugs. -- Bernd Felsche, _--_|\ #include Metapro Systems, / sale \ Fax: +61 9 472 3337 328 Albany Highway, \_.--._/ Phone: +61 9 362 9355 Victoria Park, Western Australia v Email: bernie@metapro.DIALix.oz.au
