Message-ID: <890808221537.668792@DOCKMASTER.ARPA> Date: 8 Aug 89 22:15:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 20 I wonder what I've discovered? To answer the specific questions, I am not using any new version of kermit (its 3.85, unmodified.). The hard drive is an Everex 40D, using Apple SCSI card. I have receive packet length set to 250 bytes. I just downloaded a 32k file and watched the hard drive's light very closely. It flickered at the start, after a couple of packets, then only after 21, 36, and 33 . (my counts could be off one or two since I might have missed one or two while I was writing them down.) So that means some piece of software has something like a 9,000 byte buffer. Who? Oh yes, I also have a Transwarp GS, but I can't think that would be buffering anything going to the SCSI port. I suppose I could revert back to system disk 4.0 and see if memory of how it used to work is playing tricks on me, but I don't really want to do that! (I dont' think I ever bothered to configure a bootable system disk that had the SCSI driver on it.) TMPLee@dockmaster.arpa
