I could do like 3600 if I turned up the NULLS, but the problem then was his monitor displayed them as /@@@@/ for however many I turned on, which loses. Are you familar with Micro Cornucopia magazine ? Amongst their public doman collections for the Kaypro is a terminal program that does the Right Thing for Kaypros (whatever that is) so I could run 9600 no problem without nulls. The Micro-8 monitor ROM upgrade (?!) from the same folks also took care of the null-echo problem. If you don't have an address I can go find it and post it. r c s SECRIST%OAK.SAInet.MFEnet@LLL-MFE.Arpa
