- All this talk about the misfeatures of the zs serial chips makes me
- curious about a problem I'm always had with my Sun 3/50 at a speeds
- higher than 9600 baud. When I connect at 14.4 for instance, I lost a
- lose a lot of text when large screenfulls are transmitted at once. I'm
- connecting throug tip and it will usually just display say the first
- part of a transmitted page of text, then stop, and only display the last
- couple lines upon starting again. This makes it impossible to read text
- reliably, and in extreme cases, this has even frozen tip and may machine
- to a point that I need to reboot with L1-A. I would like to be able to use
- a 14.4 connection from my sun because file transfers work fine at 14.4
- and I don't want to sacrifice that benefit, but I can't handle losing text
- if I'm going to be making a call that will involve file transferring and
- text reading.
-
- Any ideas?

- -Daniel.
