My problem is, at > 2400 baud, it tends to drop characters. I also have an '83 series Kaypro 4. It seems to cope just fine with terminal emulation using MEX at up to 4800 baud, if my memory serves me right. Now that I think about it, though, that may be because I doubled the clock speed using the Micro Cornucopia hardware mod some years ago, so it runs at 5 Mhz. Many old Kaypros have had this or a similar mod done, but if yours hasn't that could be one solution to the problem. You could also try getting an interrupt-driven terminal emulator. There is at least one on SIMTEL20, in the PD1: (might be wrong about it being PD1, could be PD2?) directory. Micro Cornucopia used to sell one on one of their disks, but since they seem to have gone out of business, I guess that is no longer a viable source. Ross Alford zlraa@marlin.jcu.edu.au
