I posted this question to info-vax and was told that I might get some useful information by posting it here as well. Here goes ... I am trying to find out whether a VAX can handle a synchronous 4.8 Kbit input line. We have either a VAX 750 running UNIX 4.2 BSD or a MicroVAX II/GPX also running UNIX 4.2 BSD. The line we will be using is a news wire service, similar to the AP news wire and will plug into either a DH or DZ panel (I think). We are trying to avoid using an IBM PC as a dedicated head to pre-process the line and buffer the the data stream before passing data to the VAX. Anyone out there have any useful information? Thanx. -Rob Cote -- Rob Cote rgcote@cls.lcs.mit.edu (Internet) rgcote@mit-vax.UUCP -- Rob Cote rgcote@cls.lcs.mit.edu (Internet) rgcote@mit-vax.UUCP
