[comp.sys.next] serial ports

A while back I came across the end of a thread about problems with the 
Nextstation's serial ports. Can anyone elaborate on the "problems" that 
were discussed? I've got a modem running on my Station right now - a 
Hayes comaptible 2400. I just hacked a five-wire mini din 8 to db25 (so I 
don't have hardware flow checking), but it seems to work ok.
 
Also, does anyone know of an ftp archive that might have a good term 
package for a Station? I'm stuck using tip right now, and it doesn't 
do *exactly8 what I want...any help would be appreciated...
