Re: changing baud rate without recompiling

thanks for your reply
it's good but includes recompiling again. i don't want to recompile in
any way. is there any other solution for doing that? i don't think
so:(.  are you sure recompiling is the only way to change the baud
rate?
thanks for your attention
