Does anybody know of a routine to stop the interrupt generated by
a keyboard buffer overflow.  When moving about in some packages
you can manage to partially lock up the PC while it is servicing
interrupts generated by an overflow.  These interrupts cause a beep
of some (too long) duration and thus halt the process running for
this amount of time, not allowing it to eat up all those extra
keystrokes.  The effect is horrible beeping sounds and partial lock
up.  

What I would like is some routine, preferably a TSR, which will just
throw away extra keystrokes, not beep at them.

Please email replies, thanks mm.
