- Were working on some dial-up software here and I have a few
- questions for you guys. our application is sorta just like
- a terminal emulator/modem interface. Along the lines of white knight.
- I've been reading the material in Vol II of IM about the serial
- drivers. I noticed that the serial driver can be set up to
- 57600 baud..can data really be transfered that fast? or is
- there a practical limit on how fast a program can read/write
- to the driver? Are there tricks needed or tinkering with
- serial driver configuration to get fast throughput? Are there
- any PD libraries or commercial libraries that I should look
- in to rather than rolling my own? Thanks!
