You're kidding, right? I didn't change any of that. Support for 19.2
and 38.4 K baud were in Smokey X1.0. All I changed in Foggy was the keyboard
handling.

| 1161.2 | What kind of microvax port are you abusing? | PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ | Jeff Lomicka | Fri Feb 12 1988 15:41 | 14 |
| What kind of serial port were you using on the microvax? Were you
using the console port? The console port takes an interrupt per
character, and the VAX just might not be able to keep up. I've found
that even when tyou set /ALTTYPEAHEAD on the port, which helps a lot by
the way, that I cannot reliably use KERMIT on CSA0: of a microvax at
speeds over 4800 baud. You get problems with data overruns because
there is no hardware buffering in the console port. If you have a DZV
or DZQ, then setting /ALTTYPEAHEAD on the port should cure the problem.
Make sure the sysgen parameter that controls the /ALTTYPE size is set
to something large enough, at least 256. (I use 2000).
Note that setting /ALTTYPEAHEAD requires /PERM, which requires that you
have sufficient privs.

It's a DZQ. I bet /ALTYPEAHEAD is the culprit!
Privs? Why, I wouldn't use a MicroVAX without 'em !
Thanks Jeff,
John (who's logging out now to fix his MicroUploader)

And that floppy dosen't stop spinning till it's done!
Thanks Again Jeff,

| Smokey doesn't handle 38.4 very well. Either that or my PC running
ProComm Plus doesn't handle it well.

After poking throught the Libraries and Devices RKM manual, I found
that the Amiga HARDWARE supports up to 220,000 BAUD! Except
that due to the multi-tasking nature, recieving is only relaible
at 19.2 or slightly above (I think something like 31000 is max)
Above that you may loose a character here or there :-)
You can send as fast as you'ld like - assuming your software
can keep up.

| There is also a problem with the serial.device driver (or my ignorance
about something):
Sometimes at high baud rates, the Amiga will send out 4 XOff characters
and never send an XOn.
