What is the fastest modem I could hook up to the NeXT and how fast can I set the baud rate? Jeff -- jeffo@uiuc.edu

Here's the relevant excerpt from the NeXT tty manual page ("man 4 tty" ... also
FYI, do a "man zs"):
The sg_ispeed and sg_ospeed fields describe the input and
output speeds of the device according to the following
table, which corresponds to the DEC DH-11 interface. If
other hardware is used, impossible speed changes are
ignored. Symbolic values in the table are as defined in
<sgtty.h>.
B0 0 (hang up dataphone)
B50 1 50 baud
B75 2 75 baud
B110 3 110 baud
B134 4 134.5 baud
B150 5 150 baud
B200 6 200 baud
B300 7 300 baud
B600 8 600 baud
B1200 9 1200 baud
B1800 10 1800 baud
B2400 11 2400 baud
B4800 12 4800 baud
B9600 13 9600 baud
EXTA 14 19200 baud
EXTB 15 38400 baud
Note: 19200 and 38400 baud aren't reliable on 68030-based
machines.
Code conversion and line control required for IBM 2741's
(134.5 baud) must be implemented by the user's program. The
half-duplex line discipline required for the 202 dataset
(1200 baud) is not supplied; full-duplex 212 datasets work
fine.
Don't worry about the last paragraph ... all "usual" modems will work with
the NeXT.

In OS 2.1 I have printed at 19200 baud and kermit-transferred files at 38400 baud. Greetings, Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E. Mayer (Hardy); Department of Physics, University of California Irvine CA 92717; (714) 856 5543; hardy@golem.ps.uci.edu or MMAYER@UCI.BITNET
