Kev,

We hashed around the idea of our problems being related to a baud rate mismatch
.. but succeeded in talking ourselves out of it. Now, in the morning light, it
does make sense.

We're both using high speed v.32/v.42 modems and get a 12000 baud CONNECT, but
I'll bet we need to set the baud to 9600. Moded entries we gots.

Thanks for the suggestion on checking the data. We sort of had that happen at
one point during the evening. I had taken my side of the net down and fired up
sterm to make an adjustment the modem. With Barry's side 'polling' like it was,
I soon had stuff coming on the screen. Couldn't read it, but it did seem to
have a pattern and did remind me of a terminal baud rate mismatch.  More
playing is in order.

No slams were intended on the data pointer comments. We realize this stuff is
still in the testing stages. What made it interesting is the symptoms are
exactly the same as another situation Barry faces on the TC70.

With a tsmon on a serial port, (modem line), line noise will all too often hose
the port in the same fashion. Paths disappear from a procs output and the data
pointer ends up at $0000000. Any efforts to correct the situation results in a
locked machine. So this sounds driver related, jes?
