          PROTEON P4200 RELEASE 8.0 BUGS/DISCREPANCIES


1.   When switching similar configurations and lines between 7.4b
and  8.0,  there is a very noticeable rise in the reported number
of TX underruns.   I interpret these transmitter underruns to  be
caused by the USART running out of data before the CPU could load
more  data. Is  this  an  indication  of  some  sort  of priority
or scheduling problem?

2.   The console inactivity timer in 8.0 appears to be reset only
by keyboard input.   When you are in T2, monitoring line traffic,
there are long periods of keyboard inactivity while still produc-
ing meaningful output.   The inactivity timer triggers and  shuts
the  connection down.   I do not accept that the solution to this
problem should be the global disabling of the inactivity timer by
the operator, even on a temporary basis.
