   A friend of mine had the same problem with his system. He added the
   igloo patches (along with 16550 serial chip) and it seemed to
   resoulve his problem. The systems now talk to each other useing 
   TrailBlaziers. If you want the info on the 16550 and the source 
   code you can get it off my bbs. 415-796-3686. File: 16550.dirver 
   located in the unix_comm files area. The chip cost 13.00 at 
   Fry's electronics.
