DECcomm Version 5.01 Release Notes
 ----------------------------------

 This version of DECCOMM implements nearly complete support for
 the    Revision   5  FOSSIL  specification.    Opus  1.10  and
 BinkleyTerm 2.00 use extended Rev 5 features to get more speed
 on fast modems.    (And  in  the  case  of  Binkley  2.00, the
 external function support is used for Video FOSSIL!)

 To  my  knowledge,  the  only  significant omission from  this
 driver  is  the  lack of support for XON/XOFF as  a  restraint
 mechanism on the Receive side.  There are probably a few minor
 nuances that I will have to address, but by and large, DECCOMM
 is compliant with the Revision 5 specification.  This includes
 support for 5, 6,  7,  and  8  data  bits;    odd, even and no
 parity;    1  or  2    stop  bits;    and  support  for  BREAK
 transmission.
 
 This version of DECcomm  therefore  differs from Rev 3 in some
 minor respects, and if you  are using Ron Bemis' OUTER program
 (or  CALLTIME)  you should contact him  about  getting  a  new
 version.

 ALSO -- unlike prior releases of DECcomm,  this  one  actually
 snags  the  serial  interrupt rather than using MS-DOS  calls.
 This was for purposes of speed, and the gain  was significant.
 But this means that you can't do all the things  with  Opus or
 whatever  active,  that you used to (like using LC-Term).  You
 also should  explore  the FOSLAUX driver as an option for some
 of your AUX port  stuff.  Of course there's always BinkleyTerm
 as a simple terminal package.

 Now the good  news.   If you have been thinking about buying a
 fast modem but ...  "why bother, the Rainbow isn't fast enough
 to drive it!", I have  some  interesting  information for you.
 Opus 1.10 can drive a Telebit  at  about 1400 CPS on a Rainbow
 with  this  driver.  With  maximum  compression on a  USR HST, 
 BinkleyTerm 2.00 is getting 1885 CPS. So if you are spending a
 lot of time  transferring  data  you  might explore high-speed
 modems.
