There are several modems out that claim to support up to about 19200 over ordinary phone lines. I think they were described and reviewed in a recent BYTE or Unix World. As to answering the original question, I have run my C64 up to 4800 baud. The latest version of Kermit (v2.1?) supports VT100 emulation and will run at speeds up to 2400 baud. Granted, you must use 2 stop bits on the receiving end to run 2400 baud, but it does work. The terminal emulation in Paperclip III can support up to 4800 baud in bursts (again, use 2 stop bits). -- Lynn Kerby - Amdahl Corporation Sunnyvale, CA ...amdahl!lfk lfk@uts.amdahl.com Disclaimer: Any and all opinions expressed herein are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of anyone, especially my employer.
