I've gotten 38400 to work fine, but at 56700 I've lost some characters, and at 76800 and 153600 my modem seems to ignore all AT commands. If fserials cookie is detected the port setup and autodialer dialogs will be modified to the new settings. Graphics Emulations ------------------- The window mode is ascii only. The tos mode is vt-52 unless you use Ansist.prg which works pretty good for ansi graphics. Ascii Download ----------------- This will save characters as they are received from the serial port. Type in a file name into the file selector and now all characters will be saved to this file as they come in. Selecting ascii download again or exiting FMterminal will close/save the file.
