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, ...
