MS-KERMIT (the *best* VT100 emulator for the PC) will use the BIOS calls. One is good enough for me! In fact, in testing it we were able to get a quality 300bps out of it. Of course, we did try it on an 286 and we were able to get about 450bps and have it still be reliable. Of course, our goal of 9600bps was met, but the BIOS routines missed all but 1 in 12 bytes, but what else do you want? PERFECTION OR SOMETHING??? Tom P.S. Those are real test results. I was once assigned to research the topic so that we could prove my boss's boss was wrong. > andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy -- Tom Limoncelli tlimonce@drew.edu tlimonce@drew.bitnet 201-408-5389 "People in tight pants, moving fast."
