The DLV-11J is, for all intents, unbuffered (it only buffers two characters if I remember correctly) additionally, you will get an interrupt for every character. This will have a hard time at 9.6-19.2 kb, much less at higher speeds. I hope that the above is useful. If I have been unclear, please feel free to contact me via email or phone. - Bob +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Robert "Bob" Gezelter E-Mail: gezelter@rlgsc.com | | Robert Gezelter Software Consultant Voice: +1 718 463 1079 | | 35-20 167th Street, Suite 215 Fax: (on Request) | | Flushing, New York 11358-1731 | | United States of America | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
