The Nios Uart is fine! The divisor is set correctly,etc.

The problem is with the HyperTerminal program. While I can send entire text files down to the Nios without a problem, that behaviour I mentioned with the same characters still occurs..... crazy.

I tried an old DOS terminal program in a DOS-box and it behaves fine!!

Thanks for your attention though!
