- I have noticed that the WorldBlazer command-parser seems to have trouble
- if you blast dialing commands at it at a high serial-port speed. Last
- night, I tried using Taylor uucp (1.03) to dial out using our
- WorldBlazer with the serial-port speed set to 38400 (and the WorldBlazer
- configuration set to use that speed, only). The first few bytes of the
- dial-and-configuration command went out OK, as each one is followed by a
- pause to allow the modem to autobaud (not necessary in this case).
- However, when the remainder of the command was blasted out at 38400 bps,
- the WorldBlazer abruptly deasserted CTS and failed to respond.
-
- You may need to hack your dialer so that the dialing command is
- "paced"... that is, your dialer must send each individual character, and
- then pause for 10 milliseconds or so before sending the next character.
- This may enable the WorldBlazer to keep up with the command.
