Date: Sun 12-Sep-1989 15:43:27 From: Unknown Subject: drops characters from serial port Our little NeXT is connected to a terminal server network through ttya. We use tip & kermit to get to assorted other machines around campus. Every once in awhile, the thing drops characters. It seems to happen in chunks, about three lines at a time. This is far worse when there is a heavy load on the system. Kermit can not perform a download with a heavy load, because too many characters are missed. Sending data is never a problem. Why should this happen? The NeXT does have a powerful enough processor to handle a measly 9600 bps without any problem. Has anybody else met this problem? Will it be fixed in 1.0? | Dan Zerkle home:(805) 968-4683 morning:961-2434 afternoon:687-0110 | | dz@cornu.ucsb.edu dz%cornu@ucsbuxa.bitnet ...ucbvax!hub!cornu!dz | | Snailmail: 6681 Berkshire Terrace #5, Isla Vista, CA 93117 | | Disclaimer: If it's wrong or stupid, pretend I didn't do it. | >From: wrb@blake.acs.washington.edu (William Barker)

I frequently dialout and perform file transfers at 2400 baud through ttyda (via Kermit)...I haven't experienced any problems thus far. //=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=\\ || Larry J.
