I have several machines running a PA0HZP compatable scc using the normall
scc.c driver from Joerg DL1BKE, i can say that the slower the PC is the
better they work.
I even have a P2 200 with 64 megs which has a SCSi drive, i "still get"
many Rxover and Txunderuns. I must say i have 2 ethernet cards as well,
which could well contribute to the problem
When i used a 486/dx2 66 with 16megs of ram the amounts were "much smaller".
Another problem is the amount of corrupt callsigns which appier in the
mheard list, in that machine i only has one ethernet card. However i can
live with it all as the systems i have keep running and "seldumly have
problems".
