The biggest problem is that the RS-232 port doesn't give any feedback when you have hit the right baud rate, there is no handshake; one peer just blindly sends, and the other attempts to read with the user-specified baud rate. With the same baud rates, you get data; without, sometimes you get garbage, and sometimes just nothing. Programs "detect" the baud rate by iterating over all possible rates, wait a few seconds, see if there is data they seem to understand, and stop here. Yes, it is possible. > 2) Would a feature "auto detect baudrate" be possible/desirable ?

I would prefer auto-detection with all its problems and pitfalls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
