I use a Wyse 50+ as a terminal on my 3B1 and I run it at 19.2K baud (anyone
know how to get 38.4K baud out of the serial ports?).  The terminal is hooked
up to one port of the combo card and the 'blazer is on the other port.  I've
called other systems at PEP speeds using the terminal and I always lose
characters, but if I call using the console everything is ok.  I have the 
'blazer talking to the 3B1 at 19.2K so there isn't a speed mismatch between the
terminal and modem.  I've also noticed that I don't get any speed degregation 
on the terminal when I've got a uucp transfer taking place on the modem so I 
doubt that the device driver is at fault.  I know the terminal can handle the
speed because I've used it with other systems at 38.4K baud without any 
problems.  Any other ideas?
