I'm trying to get a MultiModem V32 working at 9600 bps / 19.2 kbps on my GS, and as I expected I'm having my share of adventures figuring out which settings to use. (These modems can take up a lot of time! At least they're house broken. :-) During my misadventures, I've noticed I lose characters at 9600 bps. I'm using the firmware buffering, and I thought it could handle 9600 but I wasn't sure about 19.2. Is there a problem with 9600 bps and firmware buffering? Is there a workaround I can employ? -- Shawn P. Stanley shawn@marilyn.marilyn.mn.org tcnet!marilyn!shawn {rosevax,crash}!orbit!marilyn!shawn

There is no bug that I'm aware of. I wrote my own communication program that uses the modem port through the firmware. Recently I bought a 9600 bps modem and it works great with my program. I must admit, without the zipchip gsx installed, data coming in at 19200 does overwhelm the cpu's time and the characters appear on the screen real slow, but when the modem stops, the display goes fast. With the zipchip running, I do keep up with 19200 without any lag behind. I guess the question now is which program are you using? I know kermit 3.87 works fine though I'm not sure how it uses the port. -- ____ Y_,_|[]| Eric Mulholland {|_|_|__| ericm@sage.cc.purdue.edu //oo--OO ...!pur-ee!sage.cc!ericm
