Hi
I am reading from the COM1 port, data at 4800 baud, and the
mesages are being split into 8 char chunks after the initial message looks OK.
I think that it may be a timing fault, any ideas ?

Thanks

Barry
 
Barry,

> after the initial message looks OK.

I don't quite get that last part.

> I think that it may be a timing fault, any ideas ?

Please explain why you think that.

Are you sure it's not the input side that is causing it? What is the input side? What does the data look like? What is the terminating character(s) you use? What do you have all the configuration characters set to?
