- I've had problems with system lock-up's using both tip and kermit.
- The symptoms are, I log in, type "tip com1" and blammo... deadsville.
-
- After pressing the reset button, waiting for fsck to repair the damage
- to the file system and rebooting again, I log in, type "kermit"
- "set line /dev/com0" "set speed 9600" "con" and blammo... deadsville.
-
- This does not appear to be just a process lockup, but a full fledged kernel
- wedge.
-
- Note, I don't get lockups every time, it appears to be the case that if
- I am lucky enough to avoid a lockup once, I'm free from them until the next
- time I reboot the machine (i.e. I can get out of tip/kermit and restart).
-
- Anyone have similar problems?
-
- NOTE I've had the same trouble with and without using CDG's com.c driver.
