Hi Erich There is nothing wrong. Me too I'm reading the echo char while transmitting. The timeout problem is while receiving form the mcu. After transmitting a line you stay earing for a response. How can I know when the response is complete? Wait a lot of seconds is not so logic. How can I know if the mcu is ready to receive another line? An XON ending char would be fine...

Could you explain to me what is wrong with waiting for the echo reply? I use this on automatic data collection from controllers running an amForth program. Of course, you have to read and parse for the prompt, however, with hw flow control you need to read the prompt as well.
