+\S{config-ssh-bug-maxpkt2} \q{Ignores SSH-2 \i{maximum packet size}}
+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{ssh.bugs.maxpkt2}
+
+When an SSH-2 channel is set up, each end announces the maximum size
+of data packet that it is willing to receive for that channel. Some
+servers ignore PuTTY's announcement and send packets larger than PuTTY
+is willing to accept, causing it to report \q{Incoming packet was
+garbled on decryption}.
+
+If this bug is detected, PuTTY never allows the channel's
+\i{flow-control window} to grow large enough to allow the server to
+send an over-sized packet. If this bug is enabled when talking to a
+correct server, the session will work correctly, but download
+performance will be less than it could be.
+
+\H{config-serial} The Serial panel
+
+The \i{Serial} panel allows you to configure options that only apply
+when PuTTY is connecting to a local \I{serial port}\i{serial line}.
+
+\S{config-serial-line} Selecting a serial line to connect to
+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{serial.line}
+
+The \q{Serial line to connect to} box allows you to choose which
+serial line you want PuTTY to talk to, if your computer has more
+than one serial port.
+
+On Windows, the first serial line is called \i\cw{COM1}, and if there
+is a second it is called \cw{COM2}, and so on.
+
+This configuration setting is also visible on the Session panel,
+where it replaces the \q{Host Name} box (see \k{config-hostname}) if
+the connection type is set to \q{Serial}.
+
+\S{config-serial-speed} Selecting the speed of your serial line
+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{serial.speed}
+
+The \q{Speed} box allows you to choose the speed (or \q{baud rate})
+at which to talk to the serial line. Typical values might be 9600,
+19200, 38400 or 57600. Which one you need will depend on the device
+at the other end of the serial cable; consult the manual for that
+device if you are in doubt.
+
+This configuration setting is also visible on the Session panel,
+where it replaces the \q{Port} box (see \k{config-hostname}) if the
+connection type is set to \q{Serial}.
+
+\S{config-serial-databits} Selecting the number of data bits
+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{serial.databits}
+
+The \q{Data bits} box allows you to choose how many data bits are
+transmitted in each byte sent or received through the serial line.
+Typical values are 7 or 8.
+
+\S{config-serial-stopbits} Selecting the number of stop bits
+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{serial.stopbits}
+
+The \q{Stop bits} box allows you to choose how many stop bits are
+used in the serial line protocol. Typical values are 1, 1.5 or 2.
+
+\S{config-serial-parity} Selecting the serial parity checking scheme
+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{serial.parity}
+
+The \q{Parity} box allows you to choose what type of parity checking
+is used on the serial line. The settings are:
+
+\b \q{None}: no parity bit is sent at all.
+
+\b \q{Odd}: an extra parity bit is sent alongside each byte, and
+arranged so that the total number of 1 bits is odd.
+
+\b \q{Even}: an extra parity bit is sent alongside each byte, and
+arranged so that the total number of 1 bits is even.
+
+\b \q{Mark}: an extra parity bit is sent alongside each byte, and
+always set to 1.
+
+\b \q{Space}: an extra parity bit is sent alongside each byte, and
+always set to 0.
+
+\S{config-serial-flow} Selecting the serial flow control scheme
+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{serial.flow}
+
+The \q{Flow control} box allows you to choose what type of flow
+control checking is used on the serial line. The settings are:
+
+\b \q{None}: no flow control is done. Data may be lost if either
+side attempts to send faster than the serial line permits.
+
+\b \q{XON/XOFF}: flow control is done by sending XON and XOFF
+characters within the data stream.
+
+\b \q{RTS/CTS}: flow control is done using the RTS and CTS wires on
+the serial line.
+
+\b \q{DSR/DTR}: flow control is done using the DSR and DTR wires on
+the serial line.
+
