Apologies to microport, because we have sent them a fax already, but we
are in a rush for a fix.....

With Microport's Unix System V (release 2.2U) running on a genuine IBM PC
AT, select a free port on the com1 board and spawn a getty process on
it.  Connect a 9600 baud terminal to the  port.  "cat" a large file to
the port.  Output to the terminal will hang after a random amount of
data has been transmitted.  This phenomena can also be observed when
scrolling through a file using vi.  Tping any character causes output to
resume.  

Is anyone else having this same problem?  And, more importantly, does
anyone  have a fix??  We have the linkkit.  

Please respond using EMail or Call collect 
(613) 725-5411 

Thanks in advance.
