The model 100 can communicate at 76800bps without losing characters... with hardware flow control and custom software.
But with TELCOM and the model 100's slow screen 600baud is probably the limit. Are you using software flow control? One other thing I found when writing HTERM is that ANSI escapes create a lot of garbage that the screen has to spend time rendering and looks like garbage anyway. If that is coming you can get higher throughout if it's filtered out. -- John.
