From: "Ian! D. Allen [CGL]" <idallen> When I "cat file" through a DEC DMZ-32 port, I don't get the character rate I thought I would get. I get about 14000 bps when the port is set to 19200 bps and about 7200 bps when the port is set to 9600 bps. The rates through our DEC DMF-32 are almost identical to (indeed, slightly faster than) the expected port bit rate, so I know our unloaded VAX 8600 running 4.3 BSD can keep up. What is going on? It is a known problem that these DEC DMZ devices don't perform at their assigned rates?

Yes.
