What speed could the systems use if the firmware was capable? Is there a problem with the lack of a hardware handshaking line for the modem? How high of a transmission speed can you go using Xon/Xoff protocol?Good questions. I'm afraid I won't have answers until I write the code and try it out. We do have limitations with the lack of hardware handshaking but we're managing to run at 19.2 kbps for direct connections. I want to try feeding this through the modem which should be able to handle it with compression enabled. Unfortunately there is no way for the modem to tell the Accu-Vote to back off so if it can't handle that rate, it'll drop data that the Accu-Vote will have to resend. I'll just have to run tests and see. At worst we should be able to run at 9600 bps. Guy
