I have an Amiga 2000 with an XT Bridgeboard, serial card, extra 128K memory and WD controller with Miniscribe RLL HD (60 meg). Have recently upgraded my modem to 2400 baud. I seem to be able to keep up at this rate with no problem, all file transfers seem to execute flawlessly with no retransmissions. However I seemed to have developed a problem. If I am using an editor such as Emacs on a remote host which does cursor control, then sending keystrokes to the editor, such as ^F, will cause the remote side to echo back cursor control escape sequences for the terminal emulator that I'm using. It seems, however, that AT NORMAL TYPING SPEEDS, every once in a while a character (usually ESC) gets dropped and the terminal emulator outputs the rest of the cursor control sequence as data to the screen. In an effort to pinpoint this, I'm left with the unshakable conclusion that somehow the Bridgeboard is dropping characters before they ever reach the application. 1) All terminal emulators tried in the XT bridgeboard had the same problem. 2) Different versions of Emacs on different remote hosts all had the same problem with my XT BB. 3) Examination of the line input buffer showed that indeed the Escape character had been dropped before reaching the application. 4) Trying the same scenario on XT or AT clones could not duplicate the problem. 5) Running the scenario on the Amiga serial port at 2400 baud did not show the problem (same modem and telephone lines). 6) Running from the same modem but at 1200 baud on the XT BB caused the problem to go away Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this problem? Oh yes, the scenario was tried with XON/XOFF and hardware flow control as well with identical results. Somehow, it appears that in this scenario only, characters can be lost at normal (slow) typeing speeds. Would appreciate any input from anyone… Thanks, John
