- A customer uses Sun SPC (Serial Parallell Controller) to read large
- volumes of data (on several lines). They are experiencing silo
- overflows on the SPC inputs.
-
- I would like to get some hints for them on how to read these serial
- ports as efficiently as possible. They run some kind of two-way
- protocol over the line, but they mostly read data.
-
- Anyone getting good throughput on multiple lines out there?
-
- They are currently running SunOS 4.1, but I guess thoughts on how
- to write code that ports easily to Solaris 2.x will also be of value,
- as the real-time support in 2.x should be very interesting for them.
-
- Answer directly (by mail), and I'll summarize if there is enough
- interest.
