I am trying to use a 1200 baud modem ( a USR password ) with the 
C-64 using an RS232 adapter. The set up works fine at 300 baud ,
but at 1200 baud the computer gets mostly garbage on the screen.
 I tried the same modem on the same phone line to the same host
with an IBM and got no errors. I think that the c-64 kernal routine
that handles RS232 just can't keep up with 1200 baud. Maybe if I
turned off or slowed down the 60hz interrupt it would help. I have 
yet to try this.

Has anyone else found this to be a problem ? 

If there is a terminal program that works at 1200 baud , I would 
like to know.

  Thanks in advance.
