IF the other end supports X-ON/X-OFF But I don't consider that to be 'keeping up', it should be able to deal with 19.2 kbps all the time, without any flow control at all. XON/XOFF is a hack at best, and it can cause serious problems with certain applications (emacs, etc). (A few) People write MIDI code for Apple ]['s, it seems like that would have to run at least 30 kbps with no problems.... -- - Ralph W.
