I'd be very surprised if the 6551 emulation would work at 2400 baud. I've tried 1200 in the past without success.

I'm actually building a board with a 16550 UART, that works fine at 1200.

I've actually been working on a term in basic called ViuTerm. It supports PETSCII and works at 1200 baud. It also has a 1kb buffer, but its still a work in progress. I'll post it sometime soon as a software release for the year.... but until then... I've been beta testing it on my BBS (centronian.servebeer.com 6400) where its been available for download for awhile. You can download it from the BBS or from the website.

Here is the terminal:

And here is the documentation:

Let me know how it goes!

Any modem that did support this speed at the user port? Most commodore modems seems to have been up to 1200baud unless you went for a RS-232 interface with a modem through that.

@alterus

Your webserver doesn't have a mime type for PRG files. You need to add one with "application/octet-stream" as the value.

Ok I'll look into that. Where you able to download ViuTerm? The download works fine for me...

No, it just dumps it as UTF8 text in my browser.

Oh crazy... I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and it works perfectly. Are you using Windows? I didn't realize this was an issue... I'll fix it. Try right click, save link as...
