What John said was your definitive answer.
You simply can't actually go any faster than 600 *reliably*, in TELCOM
with the screen active. It doesn't matter that telcom/basic allow
setting higher speeds.
Even with xon/xoff, when the 100 says "stop sending!", by the time the
xoff byte transmits in-band over to the host and the host interprets and
reacts to it, the receive buffer in the 100 has already overflowed by
then. Even at 1200.
It can go a little faster by using software that isn't using the screen,
or HTERM, which is a unique machine language app that uses hardware flow
control.
The simple/general rule is, you can use 1200 for something like a BBS
and just live with some occasional display corruption by refreshing, or
stick to 600 or less when doing a file transfer where every byte has to
be perfect.

I have XON/XOFF set but it is still getting garbled.

Definitely flow control. My 1200 baud Kantronics KPC-3 does the same
thing in TELCOM if flow control isn't on.

Hi,
I just got myself an ArcaneByte modem. I connected to the
fozztexx BBS and posted a message! Not quite as exciting as my
first post when I was 9 years old but it was cool getting it set up.
The problem is that I can't get the m100 to run at 1200 baud.
It skips text and displays garbage sometimes. I slowed the
modem down to 300 baud and it works fine. Shouldn't it be able
to go faster? I thought the serial port was much faster than
the internal modem. It's okay, but I think 1200 baud would be
better.
Thanks,
Jeff
