i have similar symptoms on my toshiba tecra 8000 under -stable ever since i installed fbsd on it (~4.1 i think), fbsd freezes when whatever terminal emulation (tip, cu , minicom) is still running when the remote side is powered down or the serial line is disconnected. but when the remote side (pc, router, ...) is powered on or the serial line is connected again fbsd unfreezes and continues to work. i had the "unlocks the laptop for a fraction of a second" just once when the remote side was an amiga 500... imho this is enirely related to (some) toshiba serial interfaces, at least i haven't seen this behaviour on other pcs running fbsd so far To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
