- I have received a number of queries from folks who are using
- my external dialer, GoSlip!, regarding its maximum allowed
- baud rate of 19200. The reason for this limitation is that I am
- using the serial port custom control included with Visual Basic
- 3.0, and this custom control is limited to that baud rate. Although
- I myself have a 14400 modem, I have never noticed any difference
- between using my program set to 19200 and other comm packages
- set to 57600, so long as I have TCPMAN set to 57600. My
- assumption is that the modem negotiates the compression and
- acheives maximum throughput, but I could be wrong (it happens
- often)! Moreover, under control panel I've noted that windows
- only offers up to 19200 as a port speed, but I'm told it will
- accept higher values????
-
- If anyone can educated me and others about the nitty gritty of
- baud rates under Windows, educate away!
-
- Regards to all!

- One thing I'd like to see is the ability to program the function keys, and
- have different definitions for different hosts. It would also be good to
- allow the shifted, control, and alt plains to be programmed as well.
-
- When you add VT-100 emulation, it would be good to support both transparent
- and copy print modes so output can be redirected to local printers. An
- interesting twist to this would be to allow output to be routed to a network
- printer via LPR protocol. That would be really useful here...
