Has anybody besides me had trouble using macput at 1200 baud, with the new
beta version of MacTerm? While it worked fine at 9600 baud, it would hang
for ten seconds and then bring up a "GetBlock..." error when trying to
download at 1200 baud.

I finally put a RS232 data monitor on the line, and discovered the mac was
apparently dropping a character out of file information block. Fortunatly
the fix was simple, just add a sleep before the info block is sent:

if (send_sync() == ACK) { /* ~ line 165 */
txtmode = 0;
sleep(1); /* added to make sure info block is recieved */
send_file(files.f_info, 1);

After adding the sleep call there's been no further problems.
