I've just started working in a lab that has an AT&T PC6300, and I am trying
to use it for transfering data from another piece of equipment. It is a simple
RS232 serial connection, but I can not get the transfer to exceed 1200 baud
without data loss. Now, this machine shows a higher performance index than
a standard 4.77 MHz PC/XT that will keep up at 9600 baud. What gives? I
suspect something different about the workings of the UART or interrupts.
I have tried Procomm and Kermit with the same results. Do I have any options?
Are there some communication packages out there that will allow me to run
faster than 1200 baud? Transfering 100K+ files at 1200 baud is slowwwwww, but
this is the only machine we have available.
Please respond by E-mail. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
