The terminal seems happiest working at 9600. Under TOPS-10 V7.03 I can
do
a DIR in a small directory and everything is fine, but
if I run it in a
big
directory such as SYS:, then I get slightly garbled
data. Same thing if
I
run a SYSTAT, it's garbled, especially the last
part.
Sounds like handshaking, or rather, lack of it. I'd guess the terminal can
keep up for a while, but there comes a point where it has to scroll or
something, it sets the handshake to tell the other end to wait a moment,
but the other end doesn't, and a character or a few get dropped or garbled
while the terminal does its housekeeping. Have you got the same kind of
handshaking set up at both ends (ie both software XON/XOFF, or both CTS/RTS
or both DTR/DSR)? Usually VTs want to use XON/XOFF.
