All this talk about the misfeatures of the zs serial chips makes me 
curious about a problem I'm always had with my Sun 3/50 at a speeds
higher than 9600 baud.  When I connect at 14.4 for instance, I lost a 
lose a lot of text when large screenfulls are transmitted at once.  I'm 
connecting throug tip and it will usually just display say the first 
part of a transmitted page of text, then stop, and only display the last 
couple lines upon starting again. This makes it impossible to read text 
reliably, and in extreme cases, this has even frozen tip and may machine 
to a point that I need to reboot with L1-A.  I would like to be able to use
a 14.4 connection from my sun because file transfers work fine at 14.4 
and I don't want to sacrifice that benefit, but I can't handle losing text
if I'm going to be making a call that will involve file transferring and 
text reading. 

Any ideas?

-Daniel.
