	Some time back, there was a fair amount of discussion about problems
	with the 2621B, notably its inability to detect keypresses promptly
	when receiving characters at high baud rates.  Has anyone found any
	solutions, or persuaded HP to fix it?
	
			Thanx,

The current status is that HP is VERY aware of the problem. Numerous
verbal communications have taken place and a letter was drafted 
with the complaints.  HP says that new firmware should be available
sometime in Sept to correct shortcomings.  ( If not, Dave Packard 
is going to hear 'bout this one to see about terminal exchange 
for 2621A's )
