Okay, so I was working via the console port (i.e. DFly box connected to 
 Firewall via serial port) of my PIX firewall and I kept getting these 
errors. These errors made it quite impossible to configure the firewall 
because I was unable to recieve the output from the PIX device.

Error Messages (/var/log/messages):

Is there anything I can do about these errors? The man page for sio says 
that it's an interupt problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Joey
