Since I'm still waiting for the 2.3 revision I paid my update contract fee for I'll have to take your word for it. But I did try the last beta revision copy of Microport V/AT 2.3 on a 10mHz AT and it continued to lock up under heavy 9600 baud load even from one terminal, let alone 16. I've only run a couple of 9600 baud terminals on uport and it worked fine for general terminal handling. The test is to run a large-block file transfer protocol, like Ymodem at 9.6k. I've never been able to successfully do this on Microport, including the last beta-rev of 2.3 I played with. My experience with Digiboard is another war story. But this all belongs in the new comp.unix.microport... -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + Steve Manes Roxy Recorders, Inc.
