- I have benn having problems with my communications when I use an
- external modem at 2400 BPS, Some characters are lost while the comunication
- is going on. This only happens when there is output to my adm3a screen.
- Curiously, this doesn't happen at 1200 BPS or less. Also I have down
- loaded files at 2400 BPS and no data has been lost... It would be nice for me
- to be able to communicate at 2400 BPS without having to guess what the output
- to the screen was ex... instead of more it writes "me" or instead of
- password it types "psswd", I would like to know if somebody out there has or
- had the same problem and if so how did you fix it. Is it probably a
- bad Microchi? And if so which one?
- I appreciate any help that I can get, thank you in advance
- Jim.
-
- P.D. please send e-mail...

- I see from this posting on comp.os.cpm that some people are doing serial
- communications on a Kaypro II. My mother has a Kaypro too, and she's about
- to dump it in favor of a Mac. What comm software do you use folks use on
- the Kaypro? Is it public domain? Can I get a copy? Can it do xmodem or
- kermit or some such file transfer protocol? Or do you know of any way I
- can read a CP/M disk on anything else (even a PC would be OK, I can get it
- to the Mac from there)?
-
- ps: I suspect the answer to your question about data lossage is that you
- are not using any flow control. You probably have to set up your comm
- package and your modem to do flow control (either software, ^S/^Q, or
- hardware, RTS/CTS) between them.
-
- pps: want a used Kaypro? :-)
-
- Thanks! Please respond by email to me if possible.
