- It can transfer data faster.

-
- The ability to do XON/XOFF flow control, the use of other than 8N1
- settings, and the ability to complain to someone when it crashes or
- otherwise doesn't work with your software. There are probably other
- serial.device features you'll lose too.

- Dunno.

- >Is BaudBandit.device free? I think BaudBandit Comm is NOT!
-
- I believe it is free, but perhaps it's shareware. And yes, don't
- confuse the device driver with the comm. program. It was a poor choice
- of names.

- Most FTP archive sites have the XPR libraries. I usually pick them up
- where VLT is kept (on unixhub.slac.stanford.edu.)
