Message-ID: Date: 9 May 89 04:46:34 GMT References: <696@solaria.csun.edu> Organization: NJ InterCampus Network, New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 23 I think the re-written-from-scratch serial.device that is due out in 1.4 will do more good than replacing the chip with the 16450. "From what I'm told"* the serial.device currently being used is a real beast (slow, uses more CPU time than it needs, buggy... well, we all know it's buggy) and has been re-written completely and will be able to keep up with higher baud rates while using less CPU time. Ah, to wait for 1.4... like waiting for love knock at your door, the more you think about it, the longer it takes. In a poetic mood, Tom "Now that dorm room connections are 19.2Kbps, I want 38.4Kbps like in the computer center!" Limoncelli P.S. Tony, can the new version of Vt100 include higher baud rates in the menus? * -- J'ever notice that when ever we see this phrase the poster gets corrected by someone that actually does know? -- Tom Limoncelli -- tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet -- limonce@pilot.njin.net Drew University -- Box 1060, Madison, NJ -- 201-408-5389 Standard Disclaimer: I am not the mouth-piece of Drew University
