What a laugh. > I have a wy60 running at 38400, with XON/XOFF flow control enabled (in both directions), and sometimes when I press ^U repeatedly in vi, the screen messes up royally, and I have to pause, then press ^L to refresh the screen. Is this another symptom of the problem? The problem was not noticed when we had BT 368 using an ICC serial card. However, now that we have upgraded our machine to ISC and now that my Wy60 is connected to a Maxpeed serial card, I have noticed the problem. Maybe the intercharacter delay for the Maxpeed is occasionally too short in time for the wy60 ?
