I'm looking for a terminal emulation program for use on an IBM AT under Dos 3.x.
I've tried Kermit and an old version of IBM's 3101 emulator but neither of these
work above 1200 baud. I know that the AT's serial port can handle higher baud
rates because when I run Xenix I can use cu at 9600 baud. Does anyone have
an explanation for this behavior? How about a solution?

I am currently connected to a VAX at 9600 using a shareware program called ProComm. I have also run AT's before at 19,200 bps with ProComm, and suspect that they could go higher (19,200 bps is the upper limit for this program.) Many such programs exist, at low cost (ex. ProComm, Gmodem, GT-PowerComm.) Check out your local BBS systems for a copy. Hope this helps. Bill Douglass ayac071@ngp (or something like that)

I know there isn't one for this reply :-), but, if I read your posting correctly, you need an IBM 3101 terminal emulator that will work at speeds >= 9600bps. You might look at ProComm, a shareware telecom- munications program ($25) that emulates (among other things) the IBM 3101 and will operate at speeds up to 19.2Kbps (though I haven't tested this over dialup phone lines :-). I'm not sure if a full communications program is quite what you're looking for, but I'll take any chance I can get to plug Procomm. It's a GREAT program and well worth the $25 I spent to register.

[Et tu, line-eater?] Sorry for posting this, but the mail message that I sent out was returned undelivered: What version of Kermit were you using? I've been able to drive an AT serial port with Kermits 2.27-2.29 inclusive (and also with PROCOMM and Softerm, for that matter). If I was you, I would take my version of Kermit to another AT and make sure it's not the software. If you have a *real* ancient version of kermit (or if you cannot find someone with an AT), please send me a message and I'll try to send you a copy of my kermit disk. -- Tom Frauenhofer ...!seismo!rochester!ur-tut!tfra "The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity." -- Harlan Ellison

I'm using MS-Kermit v2.29b, and I've used Procomm v2.4.2, both on an IBM XT running at 4.77MHz, at 9600 bps. They both run fine. They also both work on my 8MHz Zenith at home (at 1200 bps, sigh). Maybe it's the fault of the off-brand hardware? :-) :-)

WE used to have a problem with our AT until we tracked it down to the Professional Graphics Adapter (or maybe the driver for it). With a CGA as our default monitor asynch operation works fine but with the PGA we have the same symtoms as above... -- Internet: chris@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu Chris Peck CSnet: chris@suny-bing SUNY Binghamton Bitnet: chris@bingvaxb.bitnet Binghamton, NY

I've had lots of mail about this; many thanks to everyone. So far the only lead is that I'm using Kermit 2.27 and others are up to 2.29. Maybe that will fix things, so where can I ftp a copy of Kermit 2.29 from?

They also both work > on my 8MHz Zenith at home (at 1200 bps, sigh). I use Procomm often at 8MHZ and 2400 baud. I've also used it at 19,200 for data transfer and it has worked fine. It has many differant terminal emulators, and many other nice features. In my opinion it's the best for its price. Any good IBM/clone BBS should have a copy for download. Patrick Tully pstully@ucdavis
