Fairly often, the system seems to just stop and doesn't send or accept characters -- for seconds at a time! In any case, 300 bps is 30 char/sec or about 6 words/sec = 360 words/minute. And I sure don't type that fast! I see MUCH more delay than that. -- Peter Holsberg UUCP: {rutgers!}princeton!mccc!pjh Technology Division CompuServe: 70240,334 Mercer College GEnie: PJHOLSBERG Trenton, NJ 08690 Voice: 1-609-586-4800
