At 1200 baud, my 80 col. board just couldn't handle the data coming in. I suppose it would work at 300 baud, but VI at 300, euch! About the vt52 problem: Go into the menu to make a macro, pick emulation ON, and 5 for input, 6 for output. (if this doesn't work, just switch 'em) Save the macro. Write the little text file MACRO.LIB the way they say in the docs (if you don't have them, leave me e-mail, I'll be more specific), and then boot AE. Load in the macro, then call UNIX... -John Kalucki @ Physics Research @ Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ ...!ihnp4!charm!kalucki ^^^ | Its really Berkeley Hts., NJ, but me? Complain? Never! usual disclaimer. Unix is copywrited by someone, and so is VI and AE.

I don't know why your program is not working but if it is because the
characters are coming in too fast, then it is not too hard to fix.
First of all, if you can make your communication card generate
interrupts (see AE manual) then you can operate at almost any baud
rate. I used a Super Serial Card with AE at 9600 baud and only lost
one character in about a thousand.
If your card can't generate interrupts, change the termcap entry on
UNIX to increase the clear-screen delay time to an appropriate value
(you can experiment with this). If you don't have your own termcap,
you'll have to copy the relevant section of the system termcap file
(possible in /etc) into your own directory and
'setenv TERMCAP yourtermcapfilename'
See 'man 5 termcap' for a description of the termcap file.
