Im having troubles with high-speed input on the Sparc serial ports. What should I do?
Try using UUCP. The Solaris 2.x sparc serial driver has trouble receiving data at or above 9600 bps. Symptoms include sluggish response, `NOTICE: zs0: silo overflow’ console messages, sending spurious control-Gs to the serial port, and applications that cannot be killed even with `kill -9′. This problem surfaces in many applications, including Kermit and tip. UUCP seems immune, though, because its protocol throttles input sufficiently. People have reported success in later releases of Solaris (2.3+). Solaris 2.5 supports much higher baudrates and hardware flowcontrol in two directions. The latter is also available as a patch for 2.3 (102028) and 2.4 (102845, note that this patch conflicts with patch 102062-08, which should be installed first if at all). The zs device can be set to 38400bps in 2.4 and earlier and 76800 in 2.5 and later.
