Do you use the get number of bytes vi? and one thing I found out was
to put a delay in the receive section otherwise this can make your
machine run so slow its like its shut down.
I wait for 500 bytes then read the buffer process i
t and come back
and get another 500 bytes and my serial port is running at 19.2k
Hope I helped in some way.
