Term
Friso,
you're surely right with that most modems can talk with the computer at pretty
high speed. I use a ZyXel 1496 and can use Term on my A2000/030 with linkspeed
of 76.800 baud and no problems. The speed between my modem and the remote one
doesn't exceed 19.200, of course, and only when the other side uses a ZyXel
too.
But OTOH, Steve Alstrom adviced not to use too much of linkspeed if one uses
Autopilot, even with an 030-equipped Amiga. I'm now running connect speed and
linkspeed of 9.600 all the same (my CIS-node in Germany won't go any faster 🙁
). Steve says that AutoPilot has so much to do building it's various files that
an higher linkspeed could cause messages to be left out if you're not on an 040
at least. Indeed I _had_ some trouble with lost messages when I run AP with
higher linkspeeds…
