From: joel@wam.umd.edu (Joel M. Hoffman) Subject: communications only work up to 4800 baud. Why? Date: Sun, 3 May 1992 14:08:44 GMT
I'm using kermit on an old 286 to connect to Linux via a serial line.
The Linux machine is a 386 with 6M and nothing else running (except
several getty's). But as soon as I go above 4800 baud (9600, e.g.), I
start getting transmission errors? Has anyone else had this problem,
or, better yet, solved it?
The problem does NOT lie in the comm ports or the cable. I use the
same setup with Laplink which runs MUCH MUCH faster (112,000 ish?).
Suggestions? Please!
