Surely overruns are an indication that the data is arriving too fast for
your machine to process? From the evidence I would conclude that your
Motorola is performing well, but you have a bottleneck on your machine.

Yep - slow up the data flow, and the machine copes better; a slower com
port speed would doubtless produce the same effect.

Have a look in Turnpike Connect's Help file under "Errors" - noting old
S3 video drivers, 32-bit file access, IDE block mode transfer. It was
the first of these that was the problem some time ago on my old 386. On
the Pentium, I never get errors and almost always get an excellent
connection with the COLT Ascends - and that is with a Motorola 3400.
