I have used MEX at 9600 baud quite successfully on my kaypro II. It works just fine; it never retransmits a block so I knowcharacters are not being missed. The machine on the other end is also a CP/M machine running MEX. I may have a small advantage though; I have installed the modification to run the Kaypro at 5 MHz. rather than the stock 2.5 MHz. I may also have an advantage in having a hard disk on the Kaypro, but with the hand-shaking I don't think that should have any effect. Both MEX and the Kaypro overlay are on Simtel-20. -- -Don Kirkpatrick (donk@amadeus.WR.TEK.COM) UUCP: ...!uunet!tektronix!amadeus.wr.tek.com!donk ARPA:
