Subj: REPLY TO MSG #5340 (TERMINAL SPEED)
True- there is no Standard terminal speed, but I believe that if you talk to a lot of system administrators, that most terminals, when directly connected are 9600. They have been that way for a long time. On the unix machine that I administer, you can see that setting a serial port for attachment to a terminal, the defualt speed (i.e. unless you specify OTHERWISE) is 9600. THis machine is a mac f/x, runninv{ a/ux but hey, it is a System 5 decendant. Thats all I was trying to say- most users of terminals (directly connected are used to about 9600 bps.'
