[net.micro.cpm] TAC buffering

From:      Keith Petersen <w8sdz@brl>

TAC users will be pleased to read the following forwarded message
from BBN.  The current TAC software has only a 64-character input
buffer which is not enough for 128-byte block file transfers using
the Christensen protocol MODEM program.  The increase in available
input buffer size should improve things considerably when the host
system load is heavy or when you want to upload at 1200 baud.

Keith,

In response to requests by a  number of users (yourself included), the
TAC will soon support variable size input buffers. This will be a site
configurable option and will allow some ports to steal unused space from
other ports. This feature should be available in the next TAC release
(TAC 110 mid-october)
				Regards,

				      Pete
