We have been experiencing a persistent and totally unacceptable problem with our Sun 3/260. We have an ALM-2 card, to which we have connected two modems on ports 0 and 1. We are running SunOS 4.0.1 with a version of yapt5.5c, of which there are at least two versions. We experience frequent system crashes, usually with a Bus Error, and sometimes with a Silo Overflow. Sometimes it happens just as the modem is answering the telephone. This happens approximately once per day, and has on at least one occasion interrupted important work in progress. We have an outstanding service call with Sun about this (#307365). I would like to know if anyone else is having similiar problems. Sun claims that noone is. We have not had our hardware serviced, but we have run diagnostics with no errors. We do have the serial ports configured for hardware Carrier Detect in our kernel config file. -David- Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.

I've been told that yapt5.5c may have bad interactions with some (unknown) 4.0.1 patches. If you run into problems (as you are) you might try applying it to stock 4.0.
