Hi there,, I'm hoping someone out there can help with an irritating problem thats forcing me to use my next serial ports at 300 baud. I have a usrobotics 1200/300 baud courier modem. I have used it for at least a year with a dumb terminal and it works fine. I've now got it connected to the NeXT. The problem is that when I try establish a serial connection out of /dev/cua using it, I get random garbage instead of output from the computer. The link establishes fine, and echoes my (slowly typed) characters just fine, but seems to drop chars when anything of any magnitude (like a login message (I'm not kidding)) is printed. If i dial up at 300 baud then everything works 95% fine. (ie only occasionally dropped chars). This is with cu/tip. What am I doing wrong here? I notice the defaults in /etc/remote assume hayes modems. Is this a critical factor. I know my cabling should be ok, i'm using a mac cable that works perfectly from the mac. just tested it. The parity/etc should be ok cause the modem works fine with my regular old ascii terminal. and it works fine at 300 baud. But at 1200 baud the world goes to pieces. HELP!! any suggestions gratefully appreciated... Simon Kaplan University of Illinois Computer Science kaplan@cs.uiuc.edu uunet!uiucdcs!kaplan
