Cheers, Sean. Sean, To me, this appears to be a net-working bottleneck. Questions? 1. How are your terminals connected to the Host? (RS232 + what?) 2. Does this problem occur consistently or does the problem worsen under load? 3. What baud rate are your terminals working at? (Fiddle around with this!) Rudy
