[net.micro.amiga] Abasic and the serial interface

stroyan@hpfcla.UUCP (11/30/85)

   AbasiC has a problem reading from the serial interface.  When attempting
to read even one character with "get #", the read blocks until 128 characters
have come in to the serial interface.  Then all 128 characters can be read.
On the 129'th character, AbasiC blocks again waiting on another 128 character
buffer.

   This can be easily worked around by padding files before downloading to
Abasic, but is impossible to work with if trying to log in to another system.
Is there some computed address that I can poke a value into to cut basic back
to 1 character reads?

P.S. I have tried using a small record size on a random access file, but the
serial device can only be opened sequentially, as promised in the manual.
