I'm having a similar problem. For me, siocons is consistantly "slow". Slow on 
the order of transfering about 1K of data per 2-3 minutes at the highest baud 
rate setting. If I hold down the space bar, things go lightining fast. (Though 
sometimes this hangs the connection.)

Same here with using a modem; I have a switch to flip between the modem and 
the Yaroze. (And I'm making sure that the port's not active when I'm 
switching.)

Anyway,
Rex
