[comp.sys.apple] 9600bps

Well.... if =ANYONE= has ever gotten a Hayes VSM9600 to talk to another Hayes
VSM9600 at 19.2K and NOT lose any chracters in the pure text mode under the
following conditions I'd certainly be interested in the specifics.

        A) 128K Apple //e at 1mhz (or at 4mhz - ZIP)

        B) Using ProTERM 2.1

        C) Apple-brand Super Serial Card (every switch setting possible)

           <current> SW-1  DDDDUUU      SW-2  UUDUUUD

A second question would be, does anyone, Apple or otherwise, make a faster
serial interface card; possible one with an on-board processor and/or buffer.
I tried speeding up the SSC slot but it won't work above 1 mhz. 

The problem seems to be Apple//e + SSC specific as IIgs owners run the Hayes
VSM9600 and proTERM through the serial port with no problems at 19.2K

Thanks in advance... and if you DO run this hardware configuration at 19.2K
PLEASE tell me if you are using a straight RS-232 cable (pin to pin), your
INIT string as well as your SSC settings.

Interesting. I have a 10Mhz Rocket Chip, and have been able to speed up
the SSC in slot 2 to fast mode. Although I only have 2400 baud, the difference
is noticeable, since when proterm draws up the main menu, it sends AT codes to
the modem, and when the SSC is on slow, the menus draw up as slowly as when I
operate at 1 MHz. In fast mode it blazes along. Maybe the patches to speed up
the SSC are faulty...

Are there any drivers for a Hayes Smartmodem 9600 v.42 from within ProTERM?  I
am in DESPERATE need of these, as I just recently got the above, and am only
capable of 2400bps at the moment.  Any help will be appreciated.
