Setting RAD_BOOGIE causes the serial.device to skip That's it! No, I didn't know it was a well known bug. However, it is not as trivial as it may seem to avoid it... you *have* to set RAD_BOOGIE. If not, DTERM is very vulnerable since it can switch baud rates under state machine control (and does). -Matt
