You are right. _But_ it also helps to make the communication stable.

I think that fiddling with hardware is not the right way to go. I have looked at the libs, and decided not to use them because of this. If my way is a failure, I still can fix it. It's just one of my libs to be changed and the serial lib to be added. No big pain. > You get _what_? What's '16382 CHRO' supposed to be? 16382 times a "char = 0".
