This is reasonable in the case of the STS-10x, you can't expect a lot out of the 68000 (other than PPP and extended tacacs). I could be persuaded that this is reasonable even on a msm/3, if I could be assured of having 16-32 ports doing 38.4 which I don't think it will actually do. 38.4Kbps for PPP, SLIP, or X is pretty nice. Marty ------------- Me too. I would also like to see the hardware upgraded to better support high speed async modems with bidirectional RTS/CTS flow control. The new crop of V.32bis dial modems run at 14,400 bps (full duplex) on the wire. With the V.42bis compression they can hit peaks of 57,600 bps on the RS-232 interface.
