John, here in the Seattle area we're running one of our primary local switches (seanvg.ampr.org - 386sx-16) with eight ports. Two at 19.2, five at 9600 and one at 4800. Using 16550's there are no problems with overruns or garbaged calls. We run the system as only a router and conference server so unless you have a heavy mail load I would suspect your machine to have no problems. >To reduce latency, we would want to run the ports as fast as possible, at least >2x the radio speed. But from an interrupt and system loading perspective, are I'm a firm believer in keeping latency to the minimum, two of our five 9600 ports will be going to 19.2 soon and I'd push them faster if I could. 73's, Ken N7IPB ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Sep 94 11:49:34 From: kz1f@RELAY.HDN.LEGENT.COM Subject: help msgs To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu Has anyone ever figured out whats going on with those people that insist on sending no titled, single line single sylable msgs to us consisting of the, all capitalized, word HELP Are they being raped? Are they being bludgeoned? Are they drowning? Do they have a flat tire and need a lift? (jnos goes mobile?) Is it last call at their local bar and they are still alone? Is that a secret msg for Captain Internet to come to their rescue?, I though I recently saw a black Stingray flying down Dulles Access Road. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am curous about this. -Walt ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Sep 94 19:04:00 -0000 From: mikebw@bilow.bilow.uu.ids.net (Mike Bilow) Subject: help msgs To: tcp-group@UCSD.EDU k> Has anyone ever figured out whats going on with those k> people that insist on k> sending no titled, single line single sylable msgs to us k> consisting of the, k> all capitalized, word k> HELP They think we are a collective automatic mail server, like the Usenet Oracle. :-) -- Mike ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Sep 94 22:40:12 EDT From: THESUNS@aol.com Subject: SUBSCRIBE To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu SUBSCRIBE TCP-GROUP@UCSD.EDU Herman W Strelow ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Sep 94 11:46:08 UTC From: oddleiv@etel.samkraft.no (Oddleiv Tungland) To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu unsubscribe ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Sep 94 11:46:01 UTC From: oddleiv@etel.samkraft.no (Oddleiv Tungland) To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu help ------------------------------ End of TCP-Group Digest V94 #207 ******************************
