We are having a problem with a communications application we need to write. We are passing in a data stream through a serial comm port at 9600 baud. We need to load the data into shared memory for use by other processes. The problem is that we only have an input buffer size of 1024 and we can't read it and get it into the shared memory array fast enough, so that we get over- written in the input buffer. Is there anyway to increase the size of the input buffer without changing BUFSIZE and relinking the kernal. This is the only application that needs a larger buffer. Alternatively, is there anyway to move the input stream into the shared memory space in a more efficient manner? We are running Xenix 2.3.1 on a Zenith Z386, if it makes a difference.
