I am having a curious problem with my bridgeboard that I thought I would
float here. I have an Amiga 2000 with an XT bridgeboard, serial card,
128K extra memory and a 60M RLL hard drive (WD controller, Miniscribe
HD). I have recently upgraded my modem from 1200 baud to 2400 baud and
everything seems to be ok... file transfers execute flawlessly at 2400
baud with no retranmissions, large screen printouts look good without
any data loss. However I have found one anomoly that I am at a loss to
explain. If I am in Emacs (at a remote host), for example, and I
execute some keystrokes that echo back cursor control escape sequences,
then every once in a while, the escape character gets lost causing the
terminal emulator to treat the rest of the cursor control sequence as
data. This has happened on serveral different terminal emulators on the
XT side, but goes away when I use the serial port on the Amiga side.
This is puzzling, since this is occuring at normal typing speeds, not
anything that would one would think would cause an overload. Oh yes, if
I switch my modem back to 1200 baud, the problem also goes away. Any
ideas would be appreciated.
