Overruns are caused by the modem not listening to the portmaster when it
tells it to stop sending or the portmaster not getting around to reading
the data from the port before the next character comes in. However the
counts you show here are not significant unless you just rebooted the
machine.
If your ethernet was having terrible collision problems or you have
something like a routing loop on an unswitched ether it might be possible
to overload the portmaster enough to cause it to miss a few characters.
Or a deliberate attack if you are not protecting yourself at all.
But a few overrun errors are not going to be noticable to the customer
running on a ppp link unless you are having thousands per session.
