Does anyone know why Xenix displays "garbage on the line... " and 
trapps in the user process, locking up the tty driver for the
port when I try to do reads from a port running Xenix 2.1.3 on my
AT with an Intel 386 mother board???  Reads work fine tho.

I installed a 16450 chip in my SIO/PIO card as per SCO's instructions
and now the OS seems to see the card and the port but I cant do read
operations without this fatal error.

This same thing happens in my serial comms. application as well as in
kermit and cat.

Is there a special way that I have to configure the driver or somthing???

Thanks,

Mitchell
