In the back of my Deskwriter book (Appendix 1) it states that the Buffer
Size for a Deskwriter connected VIA serial is 16K; however, one connected
using localtalk has only an 8K buffer.

Next it goes on to say this about the I/O Interface:
  RS-422-A (serial) 	57.6Kbps
  LocalTalk 		230.4Kbps

Here is my question:  given a 32K file, which would give the quickest
output:
A Deskwriter connected to a lone mac using the serial interface or
B Deskwriter connected to a lone (just one) mac using PhoneNet.


I haven't been able to test this because I have not purchased the
PhoneNet connectors yet.  I would appreciate it if someone could send
me any info they may have one this. 

Thanks Much!
