I will leave gnu-emacs specific advice to those with more extensive knowlege of it's inards; but I do have some experience with VAXstations. We have several in-house running VMS, and on the rare occasions when we have tried to use the serial ports, we have experienced character lossage at baud rates as low as 4800. I don't know how much of this is VMS overhead, and how much is bad hardware design. We have also experienced some character loss when using DECnet remote login and 60 line Ambassador screens. If the problem does turn out to be character dropping and you are using ANSI (vt100) terminals, you might want to add the following line to your termcap: (is Ultrix bsd or Sys V?) :DC=\E[%dP:DL=\E[%dM:IC=\E[%d@:AL=\E[%dL: This declares the parameterized versions of delete/insert character/line. This is also VERY helpful when running directly on a Sun workstation.
