With superHermes for both input and output, the theoretical limit
is 460800 bps (I think). All academic though as a QL with SGC
could only process at max of about 70kbps.
Can sernet be used with sH ser3?
Tony
I think that SER3 on Superhermes could be used on Sernet, but the
driver code would have to be altered to work with sernet.
Is the SER3 source code availble.

The Sernet software uses the SRX and STX device names for split input
receive and output transmit over serial ports, only available in
SMSQ/E - although in theory (never tried this) there is an enhanced
serial port driver from H P Recktenwald (called SIMSER or something
like that) which seems to offer the facilities needed for a standard
QDOS QL to work with Sernet. Obviously, it can't improve the
throughput of a standard QL, though.
Just had a quick look at the configuration of the Sernet I use to
connect my Aurora and PC. It is set to serial port device names SRX1hd
and STX1hd (h being hardware CTS/DTR and d being direct untranslated
output).
What I haven't tried is to configure this for device 3 for SRX and STX
devices, to see whether it would accept SRX3hd and STX3hd for
superHermes.
If the network happened to consist of QL emulators able to read
multiple QXL.WIN, file transfer could also take place by having a
QXL.WIN in a shared folder on one of the machines. One machine could
write to the QXL.WIN, another (any number IIRC) could open that
QXL.WIN for input over a network. Using a QXL.WIN like this is of
course only good for occasional file transfer and the machines must be
able to find a remote QXL.WIN using UNC path names.
