some of the early Yasnac controls have speed issues we had one that would take most of a program from the laptop but randomly replaced characters with what looked like Japanese letters it might help to add a small line and character delay in your terminal program and to set the buffer size as low as it will go on the hardware config tab or set the control to a lower baud rate Brian -- "Nemo me impune lacesset" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
