All this stuff about comms prgs losing chars is interesting, cos last
semester as part of our Data Comms II subject at RMIT, we had to write a
communications package ( interrupt driven _NOT_ serial.device, the lecturers 
idea, not ours ), the Amiga ones were tested at 9600 to a Unix box, and
to my knowledge, none lost chars even on a big ls -wotever. 
  In addition, I tested mine via null-modem by sending a large ascii file at
19200, and that didnt lose any chars either. ( 19200 is the highest speed the
microbee I was using on the other end could do )
  The program was not just a dumb terminal, it supported enough VT100 to run
"vi" and "top" properly.

I dont know what this all means - my prg is better than VT100 2.9 mebee ;-)
( just kidding )
