Does anyone know what symptoms are displayed by these boards that "do not work
right?"  I've been having some terrible problems with flow control on one
of my ports and have just about given up getting my NEC LC-890 to work with
it.  It never works at 9600 baud, and only works sometimes at 4800 baud.
The symptoms are buffer overflow on the NEC, the 3B1 just keeps on sending,
but SOMETIMES it works!  Really tough to debug.  (3.51 kernel, STARLAN card,
EIA/Combo card).
