What baud rate? If I use 57600 or lower I see no problem at all. The first char I type gets through fine. If I try higher rates (115200 is the default, I've tried 230400 and 460800) I get consistent corruption, though different corruptions at different rates. I've tried enabling hardware handshaking but it makes no difference - however it is possibly there is something wrong with the wiring so I'll check that before pursuing that direction much further. Presumably with working hardware handshaking we should be able to avoid any loss or corruption?? (I'm not sure if I said - but the board I am working on is the GTA04 Openmoko board: www.gta04.org). Thanks, NeilBrown
