Can anyone shed any light on the following problem... I'm doing some simple networking over tty lines connected to the HPSIO ports on a couple of towers. Everything works fine until a high speed printer on the same HPSIO has large chunks of data thrown at it. All of a sudden, i/o on teh comms tty line stops until the printer goes off line again (the comms line is lower numbered than the printer). This is enough to cause some grief to my protocol. It's not the printer in particular either. Similar problems occur when a terminal is heavily used. What are the HPSIO's doing? Is this just standard behaviour?
