        I've been puzzling over this myself in an effort to get communications
set up between my Amiga and a Vax 11-780 running UNIX; as far as I can tell,
the only way to set up serial parameters and etc. is to pore through your 
developer documentation, find nothing, and then discover serial.h and serial.i
on your developer disks, and write a C program to setparams.  
        It has been little comfort that when my Amiga is copying from RAW: to
SER: and simultaneously (don't you love it!) from SER: to *, it copies the 
latter in 400 byte chunks.  This is not really all that interactive....
        Oh, by the way, I copy from RAW: and not from  * or CON: because the
Amiga seems never to send carriage returns, sending only linefeeds instead.

        And if you are not a developer, there is an earlier posted message
giving the address of a company which sells a terminal emulation program; I 
am calling them straightaway.
