  I am having a small problem with UNITERM 1.7b and the RS-232 port on the ST.

I am using the ST and Uniterm to communicate with a VAX/VMS system over a
direct line, which is set to AUTOBAUD by VMS. I have set my UNITERM.SET file
so uniterm will communicate at 9600baud. And here is the problem; somehow, the
VAX reads the RS-232 port BEFORE the UNITERM.SET file is executed, and as a
result sets my line to 19200baud--max baud rate for the ST--. The UNITERM.SET
file is then executed, resets the ST port to 9600, and I cannot communicate
with the host, without changing the rate to 19200.

Any ideas on how to go about fixing this little problem?

I can certainly operate at 19200, but I found that when I display large files
on the screen, the buffer overflows and I get garbage.

Any help with this would be appreciated.
