All this stuff about comms prgs losing chars is interesting, cos last semester as part of our Data Comms II subject at RMIT, we had to write a communications package ( interrupt driven _NOT_ serial.device, the lecturers idea, not ours ), the Amiga ones were tested at 9600 to a Unix box, and to my knowledge, none lost chars even on a big ls -wotever. In addition, I tested mine via null-modem by sending a large ascii file at 19200, and that didnt lose any chars either. ( 19200 is the highest speed the microbee I was using on the other end could do ) The program was not just a dumb terminal, it supported enough VT100 to run "vi" and "top" properly. I dont know what this all means - my prg is better than VT100 2.9 mebee ;-) ( just kidding ) +---------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+ | John Butcher : bart@asgard.pub.uu.oz.au | Black Bart's seen it, | | ...!uunet!asgard.pub.uu.oz.au!bart | Black Bart knows. ;) | +---------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+
