From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@mit-mc> You asked some time back if MDM7xx does anything smart when in the CONTROL-Y mode. It sends an X-OFF and then buffers up to 128 MORE CHARACTERS while it waits for the other end to quit sending. It then writes to the disk and then sends X-ON after resetting its pointers to the start of the buffer. The file is not closed until you issue the WRT command from the command prompt. This allows almost unlimited size ASCII captures. --Keith
