      Scott...
I've been following the thread regarding the problem with the VT-100
emulation at speeds above 2400 bps or the lack there of. In my case, I'm
simply attempting to connect my Z at 14.4 to my local UNIX server and log on
to our main application. After a dozen failed attempts I followed someone's
advice and stepped the modem speed down to 2400. The success of my experiment
has been less than total enthusiasm. Any suggestions or patches for this
problem??
                                             Thanks.
                                                      Mike.

Several of us here at Boeing use our Zaurii to communicate with our mainframe
via VT100 emulation while on the road. Sure beats carrying a laptop.  Some
have 14.4 modems & some 2400 baud. We couldn't explain some of our
frustrations with erratic performance (usually blamed hotel switchboards) but
this could be our problem.  If it is a known bug, we would encourage Sharp to
respond with a bug patch if it is possible.
Signed,

Hi Jeff,  The symptom I see is that when I connect to my company's mainframe
via VT100 emulation at 14.4, 9600, or 4800 and the screen is painted, midway
through a screen everything stops. When I hit enter the Zaurus sometimes
paints more of the screen, but most of the time starts painting garbage.  As
soon as I change to 2400, all other settings remaining constant, everything's
perfect. 2400 is ok, but 14.4 would be much better.

Jim.
If it's not to much trouble, could I receive the same set of messages
regarding VT-100 terminal settings as well as the Pine and Lynx issues.

I'm attempting to log into my UNIX server at various clients facilities with
the Z in the VT100 mode, but my success has been limited when I try and enter
the main application on my Unix box. I have no trouble getting mail messages
from the UNIX server, but anything else is a crap soot.

Thanks. Mike.

Several Forum Members wrote during the past months that any speed over 2400
bps causes problems for the Z when  running vt100 emulation.

In the mean time I have clocked up about 100 + hours thanks to a dialback and
can conclude ZAURUS is now safe to use at any speed from 300 to 14.4 k bps .
Only the screen cannot hang on above  4800/9600 (depends on host, not the Z)
BUT EVERYTHING  ELSE -file transfers , typing in messages on-line(as you may
have discovered recently),WWW browsing etc  goes well

The only condition is that you MUST have a 14.4 or 28.8 PC card with full
hardware-implemented(i.e. hard coded in to ROM or loaded in flash)  link
negotiation,flow control and error-correction /compression protocols and that
you use scripted initialization and dialing.
