I've been trying to transfer files between my ST and the UNIX box it's been
hardwired to.
It seems that no matter what I try (any combination of xmodem, kermit,
straight capture), I run into problems. Tried FLASH and AnsiTerm.
The problem is that everything blazes by too fast for my setup at 9600 baud -
lines are chopped in captures, xmodem & kermit can't seem to get themselves
syncronized with what's happening on the other end.
Is there any way to solve this without having the line speed cut to 4800
baud?
Much thanx.

Does your *NIX box respond to XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3)? Flash, for one, can't keep up with character input at 9600 baud, and will send an XOFF when the buffer gets nearly full. If the *NIX box ignores it, the buffer will overflow and characters will be lost. Alternatively, you could enable hardware handshaking (Ready-to-send [RTS]/Clear-to-send [CTS]), but in my own experience these don't work properly on the Atari side. You *will* need some sort of handshaking at 9600 baud, in any event.

I've heard that this works for high baud rates. Does the st go at 19K baud? John Kawakami

I've been using both gulam and Uniterm at 9600 and 19200 baud when transferring files between UNIX and ST, and I rarely get errors. If you have either of these, then give them a try. Maybe if you tried expanding your serial I/O buffers, that might help.
