I used to use a Zenith Z-248 (8mhz AT compatible), running PROCOMM 2.4.2
at 9600 baud, connected to a VAX.  When I did an ASCII upload I found these
results (by ASCII upload I mean enter VI, get into insert mode, have
PROCOMM display the file to the screen, therefore entering it into the
VI document on the VAX).

with a VAX 8600 I could set all PROCOMM delays to zero and never have any
overrun problems
with a VAX 11/750 I had to introduce delays in the PROCOMM upload to avoid
missing characters

I have also tried using PROCOMM to connect at 19.2k through a SYTEK server to
our IBM running PROFS.  I tried to use PROCOMM capture to get 
the information from my PROFS mail and some PROFS documents, with very bad
results. I lost a lot of characters, but I wasn't sure if it was PROCOMM
problems or problems with how PROFS displays files (lots of extra 
characters, etc.).
