Well, you all remember how my get-hogging-cpu problem was solved by using ttydb instead of ttyb. THAT was on 2.0. I just got 2.1. Surprise, surprise, it's screwed up again. Notice these samples: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSIZE RSIZE TT STAT TIME COMMAND root 153 15.4 2.3 1.24M 192K db R 50:04 - std.9600 ttydb (getty) root 153 21.7 2.3 1.24M 192K db R 50:06 - std.9600 ttydb (getty) Although the terminal works fine, this cpu-hogging really slows things down. So why does this happen? What did 2.1 do to make this problem reappear? I'll eventually dropping an Ethernet card (~$180) into my 8088 doorstop so I can free up a serial port, but until then I would like to get this solved. Oh, also, this is a slab, 8/105, 2.1. I only have RxD and TxD hooked up. Some people suggested I need to hook up DTR and DSR? Thanks, Chris
