- What seems more likely is a problem with the wakeselect on the BIOS devices.
- PPP input uses a deamon to receive and send data from/to the serial port
- selecting the devices. What I have noticed is that when using the Mint
- builtin drivers with Howards select patches applied then input data comes
- in rather largish hunks, ie the wakeup seems not to occur always immediatly
- after data has arrived. But I never noticed complete hangs...
-
- Migh this be a bug in checkbttys or is this 'normal', Howard?
-
- I have HSmodem running with 4k receive buffers at 19200.
-
- Probably normal, given that it's really polling at 60 times per second.
- So up to 30-some characters can arrive (at 19200) before polling, and then
- checkbttys is only called on a context switch, so yes, there could be a
- large number of characters waiting before select returns...
