Grex Info Item 223: PINE - screen format problems
Entered by mcpoz on Sun Apr 2 14:47:49 UTC 1995:

I have two questions regarding the use of PINE.
  #1.  I get scrambled format when I sign in at 9600.  Is there something
       I can do to get the appropriate format?
  #2.  On another computer, which is an XT, I get the same scrambled format
       even when I sign on at 2400 baud.  If you can help me I would appreciate
              it.  
Thanks,

In what ways is it scrambled?  Offhand it sounds like a terminal
emulation problem.  Is it possible that your communications setup
is such that you're emulating a different terminal than you usually
do, when you sign on at 9600, or when you sign on to the other system?

I had VT100 on the setup both times.  In the case of signing on from
my 486, all I did was manually dial the number, rather than the set-up
on the modem.  I'll try it again and be sure.

To me it sounds like stuff may be coming too fast & getting dropped.
(Though ... "too fast" ... Grex????? ...)  Using the DOS version of
Procomm Plus on a 386 under Windows, I found 9600 definitely too fast;
if I did a listing on a big dir, I'd see a couple of lines, then it would
hang until it stopped receiving, then some more but not nearly all.  On
a 486 the Windows version of Procomm Plus occasionally loses a bit.
I've seen other emulators which were much worse, too.

I checked my set up out and I was wrong.  I had TTY set for my terminal
emulation.  When I changed to VT100, it would be junk at sign on, but 
if I type a break, it works ok.

I turned off the error correction and still got the junk at sign-on.  After

I give a line-break, usually there is no more junk.  Before I turned off
the error correction, there was junk through all the session.
