I have noticed that the WorldBlazer command-parser seems to have trouble
if you blast dialing commands at it at a high serial-port speed. Last
night, I tried using Taylor uucp (1.03) to dial out using our
WorldBlazer with the serial-port speed set to 38400 (and the WorldBlazer
configuration set to use that speed, only). The first few bytes of the
dial-and-configuration command went out OK, as each one is followed by a
pause to allow the modem to autobaud (not necessary in this case).
However, when the remainder of the command was blasted out at 38400 bps,
the WorldBlazer abruptly deasserted CTS and failed to respond.
You may need to hack your dialer so that the dialing command is
"paced"... that is, your dialer must send each individual character, and
then pause for 10 milliseconds or so before sending the next character.
This may enable the WorldBlazer to keep up with the command.
