Thanks- => -Rich => rmartin@remus.rutgers.edu Try turning on flow control; that should do it. It seems that the Kermit-65 screen handler is too slow (especially at scrolling) to handle even 2400 bps. I have seen proposed improvements on the scrolling algorithm which I imagine would speed things up a bit, but I doubt that it could ever handle a steady stream at 9600 bps. An increase in input buffer size would help most cases, though.
