From: Douglas A Gwyn <gwyn@utexas-11> Date: 27 May 1982 at 2348-CDT When you consider that at 19.2Kb there is only 50us available to handle each output character, including interrupt response time, and that the Unibus interrupt handling on the VAX leaves something to be desired, it is not too surprising that 19.2Kb seems as slow as 9600baud. A better scheme is to offload the terminal i/o to a front end such as a KMC11. We're about to try this on a System III VAX and expect it to work decently. -------
