In a recent article to this newsgroup it was stated that the
(hardwired) driver for the Ann Arbor Ambassador in the emacs code of
Gosling has problems at > 4800 bauds, because of insufficient padding.
In my experience, the opposite is true: the padding is not necessary at
all. I took it out everywhere, except for the "redraw screen" command,
where it is really needed. The insert/delete-char/line commands do not
need any padding at all.
I am running (under unix) at 9600 bauds, using an Able multiplexer.
Could this last be the reason why I do not seem to need padding?
