But there won't be a fixed number that says what the limit is. So I think that baud-rate is obsolete, but it might be nice to have some way of detecting such slowness and doing somethhing to reduce the output. But I don't have any idea for how. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
