Null modem cables

@Ilwrath:

If you have an AGA based Amiga with an accelerator and use =comm/term]Term and 8n1.device you will most likely achieve 115200.

The only case I have found this to not hold true is if the cpu has far from good bus-access as the case is with the A3640 cpu-card.

If you haven't got a RTG-card, don't use more colours than necessary on Term's screen, 4 colour or less is recommended.

Btw, I have never tried with anything else than a regular 7-wire nullmodem cable.

@Ilwrath:

It helps a bit, but it depends alot on how demanding communications software you are using. If you are going for example browse the web on an AGA Amiga in more than 64 colours, I wouldn't bet for more than 38400-57600. In this case though where you simply are going to transfer files over a nullmodem cable, then Term in combination with 8n1.device is a real rocket. And before anyone asks - NComm is slower and quite buggy too.
