[comp.unix.aux] 19.2kb serial port input dies

pst@ack.Stanford.EDU (Paul Traina) (08/10/90)

I finally installed A/UX 2.0b9 and found something horrible has occured.
The modem port drops characters when pumped at 19.2kb.  I've tried running
uucp into it with both the (ugly) SVR2 uucp (non-hdb), and the 4.3+tahoe
uucp (fyi, the diff's I previously published still work under 2.0).

Anyone out in A/UXland experience this?  My setup is a blazer with uucp
spoofing and compression on,  so we really are talking close to 19.2kb
input.

Sigh, add more features, bog life down.

Paul,

I've got a Trailblazer (an old one!) connected to the modem port
transferring data all the time (uucp mode) with no problem.  I don't think
it uses any sort of compression, and I notice a throughput of about
1200 bytes/sec (about 12KBaud).  I have had other problems with getty
complaining all the time when I dial out and also poor handshake performance,
but I'm able to live with those (sort of).
