Summary: Results of Fastlink test


Preliminary testing of the Fastlink (9600+ baud) dialup modems indicates that
they do in fact transfer data at about 9600 baud. Because they are half duplex
they are no joy at all to use interactively, but a sustained transfer test
shows a speed of 925+ cps (10 bit async).

The original test was done using two lines on a common PBX. Having done this
we switched to a dialout to AT&T and back in. This went from the local PBX to
another PBX, to the local Centrex exchange, back to the remote PBX, back to
the local PBX. Same result.

We then forced a loop out onto out leased (barely) voice grade lines and back.
Still okay.

The next test will be uucp with the path: local exchange -> longline -> local
exchange -> PBX -> PBX. I will report the results of this test in terms of
transfer speed as soon as I return (next year).
