Just a few random checks that come to mind: * what is the chip controlling the serial port to the ISDN modem? Is it an 8250 or a 16650? I seem to remember that the 8250 were not very good but I don't remember when they stopped using them. * check the serial port configuration. What is its baud rate? * what is the CPU usage? To see if it's really CPU bound? Do the system/user values look odd? -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ "Utilisateur" (nom commun) : Mot utilisé par les informaticiens en lieu et place d'"idiot".
