Levy) - Some (all?) PC/clones cannot keep up with speeds > 4800 baud in the VT100 - terminal emulator (they lose bursts of characters, even with Xon-Xoff flow - control). You want a PC, you buy a PC. You want a terminal, well, I hope - you get an AT&T terminal (plug plug :-) ). - -- - |------------dan levy------------| Path: ..!{akgua,homxb,ihnp4,ltuxa,mvuxa, - | an engihacker @ | vax135}!ttrdc!ttrda!levy - | at&t data systems division | Disclaimer: try datclaimer. - |--------skokie, illinois--------| It sounds as if you're suggesting that any AT&T terminal will keep up at speeds greater than 4800 baud! I have news for you: not all of them do. The one I have in mind has no host flow control. If you want something that really works, I hope you test it before you buy it (or can get a refund), or forever hold your PC!
