Using a slower baud rate doesn't help since its the relative error between sender and receiver that matters. 1/4 bit time after 8.5 bits is the same percentage whether at 115.2 Kbaud or 2400 baud. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
