However, not exactly in the way you think, You don't see the handshake directly from the remote device, it's not necessary. You see handshake from the local IRDA dongle. It's buffers are what you must not overflow, and it must not overflow yours. The end result is the same, you put data into the dongle at rate X, it travels between dongles at rate Y, and from the far dongle to the device at rate Z. Your throughput will not be greater than the lowest rate of the three, and not much less, if X and Y are reasonably high. Y cannot be less than 9600. X and Z can be anything from 300-115200 (typically) ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
