But, that could have just been the line(s). +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Connected at 57600...quick connect. +ADw-br+AD4- TOO FAST, the modems could not manage, many lags and +ADw-br+AD4- twitches. We decided that 19200 is probably the best +ADw-br+AD4- overall speed as it affords the good smoothness and yet +ADw-br+AD4- is pretty stable. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-I think that 19200 with One bar of detail is going to +ADw-br+AD4- be the +ACY-quot+ADs-competition+ACY-quot+ADs- setting.

+ADw-div class+AD0AIg-content+ACIAPgA8-p+AD4-Yes, we discovered that soon after posting that message. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-After +ADw-br+AD4- reading the gp2 /? screen looks like 16550 support is disabled by +ADw-br+AD4- default ( very stupid ). +ACY-nbsp+ADs-This option lets us play with much better +ADw-br+AD4- frame rates.... still get the 1 sec pauses at random intervals, +ADw-br+AD4- although they usually happen when some goes off road. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-We haven't played with the rtscts option yet. But I don't think it +ADw-br+AD4- will affect our settings seeing as Process. Occ. jumps to around 250 +ADw-br+AD4- or 300 when the 1 sec pause occurs.... +ADw-br+AD4-
