Hello,
I have a little problem here with swi4: clock sio using lots
of CPU (ie 16% Intr). Apart from that, accessing modems behind
Titan PCI-800H seems to be a nightmare. I had silo overflows
(increasing cp4ticks in sio.c did help here - see eg PR 26261)
too. This is a vanilla FreeBSD system with only mgetty, perl
and cvsup-without-gui being installed.
This is on an old system with two mux-cards
(ATA based 8-port card at irq 12 and
pci based Titan PCI-800H).
HZ is currently set to 100, but I have the same problem with HZ set to 1000.
Problems started with inserting the PCI-Card and going to FreeBSD 6.
I didn't have these problems with older version, but that didn't support
the Titan PCI-800H. Dmesg below

Suggestions, ideas etc. welcome. On second thoughs, if someone could
recommend good stable hardware (board, sio-cards, etc.) to use with FreeBSD 6.x
that supports 16 to 32 modem lines without problems and with high-speed
(230400), I'd also appreciate that... ;-)
