Can anyone explain what clists are, how they could all get used up, and how to free some more up or add some? This is for ATT SysV/386 R3.2. -- David Hwang vette@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us ...!hela!mudos!vette

This > is for ATT SysV/386 R3.2. Quoting from "Monitor: Performance Analyser for UNIX Systems Reference Manual" "The number of clist buffers (character buffers) should be set to five to ten per terminal. If you are running networking software over serial ports, you may need to allocate somewhat more. If you run out of clist buffers, a message on the console will tell you so. On systems with intelligent serial I/O controllers, it is often possible to reduce clist buffers to a minimum, leaving only enough to keep the console operating. You should check with the manufacturer of your serial I/O controller to check whether clists are used and free unwanted buffers." Monitor is a product of Anvil^H^H^H^H^H Stallion Technologies, Inc.
