I have never understood this fascination with using input silo alarms on DHs
and DZs.  One has to poll anyway for good interactive response.  I use a
polling DZ driver (home-grown) and suck up whatever happens to be in the
silo whenever any rcvr interrupt occurs; this seems to work great and is a
whole lot less trouble.
