-
- The baud rate of incoming calls depends on /etc/saf/serial/_pmtab.
- The baud rate of outbound cu is controlled by /etc/uucp/Devices entries.
-
- In both cases you can reliably run at 38,400 baud on the built-in serial port
- with no tricks.
-
- This trick sounds like a joke, but it is not: Set the built-in serial
- port to 50 baud and it will actually run at 115,200 baud. Set it to 75
- baud to actually run at 57,600 baud.
-
- The Commodore A2232 7-port card is limited to 19,200 baud per port though.
-
- Be sure you modem is set up do do CTS/RTS flow control, not XON/XOFF:
- the built-in serial port and the A2232 ports require CTS/RTS flow control.

-
- The kermit included with AmigaUNIX works fine for incoming and outgoing
- calls. With 1k packets kermit is very close to the speed of zmodem.

- We have used the 12/91 version of Chuck Forsberg's zmodem successfully
- when calling into AmigaUNIX from AmigaDOS.
