   That point about over-run has only been a problem, in my experience, 
when the serial driver/modem is NOT using CTS/RTS hardware flow
control. For this I was told to get FAS 2.08 as the stock ISC
asy drivers did not handle it.

   In ISC and or FAS, I thought the trick about that one was that
there are two different /dev/tty?? devices to use. In ISC
there are even three if I remeber right.

  1: tty00   for terminals ?
  2: ttyd0   for getty waiting for dialin ..
  3: acu00   for cu looking to dialout while getty has ttyd0.

  in FAS ... ummm ..

  1: ttyf0 for dialin
  2: ttym0 for dailout  (Probably wrong, but its something)


  So have you tried that? I've seen it work real nice. I think
it is an easy point to miss if you are used to the uugetty fashion.

   I'm a gonna havta look into this getty 2.0 thing.
