Why Are File Transfers in Telcom so Darn Slow?
It seems that no matter what you set the baud rate for in Telcom, it always tops out at about 600 baud. And it isn’t a problem that has to do with redrawing the screen as Xmodem transfers that don’t update the screen crawl along at 600 baud as well. There is some thought in the collective messages out there that the most likely cause is that the BIOS calls are poorly written. Other than that explanation and acceptance, there isn’t a fix for this problem.
