- Using a 16550AFN and HW handshaking, I frequently run an UUCP link
- over a V.32bis modem with the port rate set to 19200 while doing other
- nontrivial tasks, such as running compilers. I did never loose
- characters because of running the compilers at the same time.
-
- BTW, it really shouldn't make a difference if you use 19200 or 38400,
- for example, when your modem runs at 14400. The V.42bis compression
- doesn't increase throughput for compressed files (which are normally
- sent over UUCP links or ZMODEM downloads).
