I wasn't losing data at 9600 on Smartterm but the screen displays were no faster at 4800 and 9600 than they were at 2400. Now - about your program - you didn't mention any names. And if I am somewhat typical there are other who probably want to know what/where/how-much? It need to be able to do transparent print to an attached pc, just like a vt100. Can it do it? Where can I find more information on this program. Boards in the '286ers are Computones. The two '386s I just installed are using the Anvil Stallion. That board is a real performer. Thanks in advance for any info you can share. bill -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: {uiucuxc,hoptoad,petsd}!peora!rtmvax!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP
