Did they run the serial line from the source to the equipment to the modem at 19200 and let the modem do the throttling? If not some of the data compression schemes will not work at all well. I have seen figures showing 460 cps from a MultiTech 224E (MNP5) which is nominally 2400, and 13000 cps on a Trailblazer. I'm curious, too, about protocol used, since I know that some protocols work poorly with slow turnaround, while others, like zmodem and window kermit, run very well and at about 90-92% of line speed. I've seen this over some connections which had about 500ms delay, and I assume they were satelite links. I'm going to read the article later this week, when I get a chance. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
