See the CALLOUT program on the Spring '84 DECUS tape. I have never seen CALLOUT lose a character at any baud rate up to 9600 on a 750 or 780. I have never seen it get stuck in a MWAIT either. In fact, because of the way it grabs characters off the line, it is far less of a burden to the system at 9600 baud than it is at 1200 baud. It spends less time in KERNEL mode than any other remote terminal program I have gotten my hands on. (although, at 1200 baud, it does load the system a bit). /Kevin Carosso engvax!kvc @ CIT-VAX Hughes Aircraft Co.
