Message-ID: <5473@watcgl.waterloo.edu> Date: 11 Aug 88 04:54:03 GMT Sender: idallen@watcgl.waterloo.edu Reply-To: idallen@watcgl.waterloo.edu Distribution: comp Lines: 11 From: "Ian! D. Allen [CGL]"When I "cat file" through a DEC DMZ-32 port, I don't get the character rate I thought I would get. I get about 14000 bps when the port is set to 19200 bps and about 7200 bps when the port is set to 9600 bps. The rates through our DEC DMF-32 are almost identical to (indeed, slightly faster than) the expected port bit rate, so I know our unloaded VAX 8600 running 4.3 BSD can keep up. What is going on? It is a known problem that these DEC DMZ devices don't perform at their assigned rates?
