Hmmm... When I upped the values to around 1024, it seemd to take care of
things for the most part... I still got overruns, but *MUCH* less
frequently.  Are you using hardware handshaking with the ppp lines?  I had
that turned on for both of my ppp lines.  How fast is a Classic II?  My Mac
IIx is a 16mHz 030, but I don't know how that compares.

If I get a chance this next week, I'll try setting up the two ppp lines
again (I'm down to just the one right now) and see what happens.
