serial port buffer size

[Mitch Baltuch]

We are having a problem with a communications application we need to write.
We are passing in a data stream through a serial comm port at 9600 baud.
We need to load the data into shared memory for use by other processes.  The
problem is that we only have an input buffer size of 1024 and we can't read
it and get it into the shared memory array fast enough, so that we get over-
written in the input buffer.  Is there anyway to increase the size of the 
input buffer without changing BUFSIZE and relinking the kernal.  This is the
only application that needs a larger buffer.  Alternatively, is there anyway
to move the input stream into the shared memory space in a more efficient
manner?

We are running Xenix 2.3.1 on a Zenith Z386, if it makes a difference.

Thanks
