Iles) Organization: University of Toronto - General Purpose UNIX Lines: 26 Summary: Hello, and yes, I use my 64 to talk at 1200 baud. The effects that were mentioned (grabled characters when a key is repeating, or a large passage is being sent) seem to fit with what I experience from time to time. The cause(s) for this can be explianedby the fact that there isn't a communication chip in the 64 (i.e.; rs232 is handeled by software), and if you are using a 64 made for Europe the clock speed isn't even at one Mhz (the television signals are timed differently) I get around this by turning off the vic ii chip, and use an 80-col adapter, this seeme to work alright (but kiss parity good-bye). Since it was mentioned that you are using a European 64, I'd suggest that that is what is killing the proffesional programs from working on your machine, since they tend to adjust the number of interupts that hit in a given amount of time. As far as fixes for this go (I use a Canadian 64, so I don't have any). -- If god had meant for 64's to communicate he would have given them communications chips, 80 columns, faster clockspeeds, ...
