I am running XENIX 2.3.2 on a 386. This is a home machine that I use
for personal computing, but have a uucp connection with Athabasca U.
I have an intermittent problem on tty2A with an external Hayes compatible
2400 baud modem. I have been runing this 386-20 for almost 2 years with
no problem for dialin users (very few -- some uucp). About 3 weeks ago I
started getting the message:
serial: ERROR garbage or loose cable on dev 8 port shut down
I switched modems, switched cables, then put in a new serial card. To
no avail. After I switched the card, I thought it was cured since I had
several calls in sequence without the message. Then for no apparent reason
the error occured again. No problem dialing out, even after the error.
Any ideas?
