I run mine (3b1 with TB+) with the interface > speed locked at 19200 and have no problem... Since you ask, I cite two reasons: 1. With the interface speed locked, UNIXpc OBMs have trouble talking to Telebit modems. 2. It takes forever for an interrupt signal to be acted on with interface speed locked, since there's a whole bunch of char- acters buffered up in the modem. -- Gary S.
