We get 1250 between here and :ames (a local call). 'g' protocol, of course. Telebit performance (using the older version, at least) depends radically on the machine you're using. I ran a test from an HP 350 lab computer here in New Jersey to several machines in California. I got 1300 cps talking to hoptoad (a Sun of some sort), but only 1000 cps talking to telebit (?? a 386 box, I think??). I was also getting 1300cps talking across the lab to another HP 350. PC magazine was probably running it on a 9600 baud line; I've noticed radical performance increases with 19200, at least for UUCP. (They only got 100 cps for Xmodem - I bet they never got the Xmodem flags set, or used the wrong kind of Xmodem.) -- # Thanks; # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G218, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs # skep2 is a local machine I'm trying to turn into a server.
