Hi!
Just discovered GNUStep and the rest of the mail/news apps in the packages
collection--great stuff! I'm glad that NetBSD has adopted a collection handling
system comparible to FreeBSD's ports. This has proved quite a time saver having
the dependency apps linked in and whatnot. 

Could someone take a crack at my connection errors and give me some pointers
on where or how to solve these? It looks like three specific boogaloos are
affecting my line of communication to the server I'm attached to thru pppd.
Here's the errors: 

        http://www.csulb.edu/~bwildasi/unix/netbsd/messages/

        In condensed form here they are:

        /netbsd: ppp0: bad protocol 820
        /netbsd: ppp0: bad fcs e262
        /netbsd: ppp0: bsd fcs 26f0  
        /netbsd: zstty0: 3 silo overflows, 0 ibuf floods

These errors occur no matter what type of connection I make, like ftp knews
lynx or others that travel thru the phone line. I gave up on Mozilla, Arena,
and some other WWW browsers due to these errors.    
        
The fcs and silo come in a variety of what appears to be location errors, 
while the protocol 820 remains the same bad boy all the time. The link above
is the /var/log/messages from some recent boots. My machine hardware and
software is at the top along with the ppp connections.

Any help will no doubt shed lots of light on this reoccuring problem that
has been on this system since NetBSD-1.2D. All my ppp scripts tht i use now are
available at : http://www.csulb.edu/~bwildasi/unix/netbsd/ppp.tar.gz  BTW
is there a way to have system generated errors sent to an xconsole or xterm 
instead of having the bottom of the terminal screen constantly scroll
upwards and making the window xterms unreadable. So many "restarts" from twm
are necessary that twm bails out often leaving me to save a sesseion by
manually setting the setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/X11R6/lib just to stitch on
another window manager to save the session. This is very much like typeing by
memory in the dark or with your eyes closed when top windows are not accessable.

Bye!
