[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] Getting a TrailBlazer Plus working at high speed

dahl@bally.Bally.COM (Michael Dahl) (07/18/89)

Has anyone had any luck getting a Telebit TrailBlazer Plus working at 
high speed ( >= 9600 baud ) with an IBM RT running AIX 2.2.1?  We have
the two native serial ports on the 6150-125 along with some ports on
a Dicken's 16 port card available.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, we are using it in communication between Oslo and New York and are
achieving 9600 baud, on phone lines which we are not able to make
communication at all with regulary modems (not even 300 baud).

Seems to work just fine for me, at 19,200, using the planar serials.
I don't have a Dickens card, so I can't testify to how that works.
Make sure you have a recent level of maintenance.  I lock the
interface speed at 19,200, and let the modem match slower callers.
Unfortunately, RTS/CTS flow control is not supported, but for UUCP, I
find that it works to just turn flow control off.
