Sorry.
Geoff has kindly supplied the space on his website and one requirement is that I am restricted to the one file which retains the same name.
It sounds like MMCC is using too much CPU. This probably means that you are sending data at a high rate.
Try this test program
'
n = 1
DO
PRINT "fred",STR$(n)
PAUSE 100
INC n
LOOP
n = 1
DO
PRINT "fred",STR$(n)
PAUSE 100
INC n
LOOP
While running 'top' or similar, change the PAUSE to a smaller value and watch the CPU utilisation.
On my old Linux box, I can run other programs without any obvious issues with MMCC using 50%+ CPU
MMCC is not good at handling high data rates.
If you regularly send high volumes of data, perhaps a better terminal program is needed.
Try Rob's GFXterm
