We don't have much trouble communicating at 9600 baud (run uucp at 4800, just to be safe). I have no trouble running emacs through a serial line and VMS process at 4800 baud, and THAT uses single character reads. (NB this is on a 780, and the person managing it (ME) tries to keep things working well. Perhaps your VMS is run by an ignorant slob). drc
