Subject: what happens every 30 seconds?
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 1992 18:02:52 GMT
I've been using kermit at 38400 baud to download files from a sun
(direct serial connection, /dev/tty65...) and I've noticed that
every 30 seconds (hand timed, but it seems fairly precise.) It isn't
emacs display-time waking up (that's every 60 seconds, and I exit'ed
emacs anyway.) This doesn't show up at 19200...
Note that I'm running a 486 at 40Mhz, so I'd expect that
something would have to be keeping the processor very busy for it to
actually miss data... has anyone else seen anything like this?
