To all of you and STAZ, I have erlier send a requst to this list regarding problem with seriel connection on a PowerMac G3. I have noted that xon/xoff dont't work with standard _Xon constant and I get garbage characters from a PowerMac G3. I hade to make my own xon/xoff rutines. But I still get garbage characters to the printer. The solution was to put DELAY's in my printing loops (the G3 is very fast). Now I have a working program again. The problem is, if I have discovery a major incompatibility here, every FB II communication program don't work with G3 i think. Hans
