Well I can't change from the Xenix 2.2.2 and it has not problems at 38,200 on
REAL terminals.  I wasn't losing data at 9600 on Smartterm but the screen
displays were no faster at 4800 and 9600 than they were at 2400.

Now - about your program - you didn't mention any names.  And if I am somewhat
typical there are other who probably want to know what/where/how-much?

It need to be able to do transparent print to an attached pc, just like a
vt100.  Can it do it?  Where can I find more information on this program.
Boards in the '286ers are Computones.  The two '386s I just installed are
using the Anvil Stallion.  That board is a real performer.
 
Thanks in advance for any info you can share.
