FastXSer is the same as FastSer plus the XSDD-support. Every program
using an SCC based serial port will use those routines, but only some
of them support XSDD. The only two applications I know supporting XSDD
are CoNnect and GSZRZ.

FastSer (and FastXSer) support the FALCON. (They were adapted on mine.)
But the author is very busy, I think 0.96beta will be the last
version.

Back to MiNT: Just using MiNT-1.10h7 with CoNnect on my TT on modem1
without any serial patch in the auto-folder. Downloading and uploading
via 19200 nullmodem without any handshake works just fine. ;)

Perhaps I'll try HSMODEM (before MiNT) these days. Do you all use
HSMODEM1 or HSMODA for the MFP based ports? Hmm, anyone knows where
to get a copy of CoNnect 2.20?

Hmpf. CoNnect just crashed, after trying to cut a text with the mouse.
This problem appears with all MiNT versions since MiNT 1.09. Anyone
else has this problem?

So I had time to boot with HSMODA04 before MiNT in the AUTO folder.
CoNnect 2.46 complains about a too old HSMODEM version, but the
serial-port dialog says "RSVF supported". File transfers in both
directions work just fine.

Bye,
