We had a similar problem years ago, and that was it. By using 2 stop bits you widen the window, since the problem occurs when a start bit is detected where a stop bit should still be. This resets the clocks on a character basis. You can check this with a scope to be sure, and I hope you will. Most UARTS can run "1-1/2 stop bits", (no I'm am NOT making it up) but I doubt that the modem gives you a way to get to it. As I recall that is the standard for either 110 or 134.5 baud. --- -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
