I just got my Telebit Trailblazer Plus delivered yesterday. I ordered it at the end of November. Not bad, considering that their acknowledgement didn't promise it until the end of December. It seems to work (I've only actually uucico'd with it at 2400 baud because my software doesn't understand higher baud rates -- yet. My present uucp is for an Atari 520 ST, from Beckemeyer Development tools. It works, but it doesn't use the window feature of the g protocol. From watching the lights blink, I think that means my effective average throughput is about 120 cps -- yuk. New software is definately needed to utilize the power of the Trailblazer!) I didn't find the manual confusing at all. Perhaps everybody is talking about undocumented operations, but I'll only learn about those through experimentation and experience. The only complaint I have so far is that the modem does not do a particularly good job of autobauding to the DTE speed. My work around is to set the DTE at the highest speed, let the analog end autobaud, lock the DTE speed, and do flow control (CTS/RTS). -- - John M.
