I know that PEP uses a number of different frequencies for DAMQAM, achieving an average throughput of 10,000 to 18,000 bps in one direction, with a smaller opposite channel in the opposite direction (I think it was about 30bps?) Now, this is great raw throughput. But a v.32 achieves 9600 bps in each direction, so theoretically it *could* do 19200 in one direction. No? If v.32 was set up as a half-duplex system with all of its resources going one way, it could do 19200 easily. I don't know if v.32bis is full duplex or not, but it does 14,400 bps. I would think PEP, using more of the available frequency bandwidth should be able to get consistently 18,000 bps or higher. Why not? - Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com ps. I own a T2500 and love it, so this isn't meant to be a flame on Telebit. I just want to know. pps. To the fellow at helios.tamu.edu who is forging articles and hates Telebits: don't bother replying to this, please.,.. :-) -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com Shaman Consulting (607) 253-0687 VOICE "Bring your dead, dying shamans here!"
