John Peterson (JW-Peterson@UTAH-20) pointed out that an earlier
submission to INFO-MAC explains my problem with Macput at 1200 baud, to
wit...

"I finally put a RS232 data monitor on the line, and discovered the Mac was
apparently dropping a character out of file information block. Fortunately
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."

Thanks, John. (I haven't had a chance to try this out personally yet.)
I resent this because I got a lot of queries about it.
