Hi Alexandre, thanks for the message. Hope you don't mind that I forward it to the list.

I am away from home so I can't post to the list.

I was getting strange results (errors) from a basic stamp at higher speeds that 2400 Bauds. Setting the stamp and the comport object to that speed solved it.

I run linux.

Ouch, so that suggests that things are even worse on Linux than on Windows. Going down to 2400baud is definitely not an option for my application where I can't even slow down to MIDI speed at 31250baud (actually I'd rather have more than the 115200baud I started out with). I hope your errors were caused by something else, like noise on the line, and not by the operating system or the comport object.

Cheers,

Alexandre

thanks, Sukandar
