[comp.sys.hp] 98642A MUX + Kermit = Death by freezing

Howdy, netlanders.

I seem to remember a thread a few months back about 98642A muxes and
9000/300s, and there's one going on now, but one of my cohorts in crime
is having a problme that's increasing in frequency the closer we get to
needing the system on-line.

System: HP9000/370, 16MB RAM, HP-UX 6.5, 98642A mux, DOS CoProcessor
card, 323MB SCSI disk, 6 plane graphics.

Symptoms: Attempting to use kermit (rev unknown at this moment) to
communicate at 19200 baud over 98642A mux channel.  Works fine the
majority of time, but completely freezes the system often enough to be
REALLY annoying.  The port is talking to an Analog Devices MAC-6000, if
that makes any difference.

I'm going to get the latest and greatest version of Kermit this
afternoon, and see what happens, but I thought I'd see if anyone has had
similar problems, or knows of a reason why the 98642A can't run at
19200, or .......


Thanks in advance, 

Dave
