Re: new terminal program needed ...

I'm annoyed at the moment because the good old M100 cannot keep up
with a burst of 19.2 kbaud characters.  The bluetooth device has a
control interface that can give a report of text detailing all the
settings.   This data streams to the M100 at 19.2 and is more than 100
bytes.  At some point, the buffers overflow on the M100 and you lose
data on the screen, making it unreadable.

I suppose hardware flow control would fix that.

Where do you store HTERM?  I will check your personal folder.

thanks, Steve
