Slow? I'm getting about 2300cps w/ a 14.4k modem using compression--if
this is slow (I upgraded from a 2400), somebody please tell me what I
need to do to increase the speed. As for errors, the only time I get
*any* errors is if I forget to set filetype binary on both ends before
a non-text transfer.
For those of you who might know how to make my transfer speed increase,
but need particulars, my *.ini reads:
set send pack 4096
ser receive pack 4096
set block 3
set window 2
set retry 63
The terminal server that I connect to suports transfer rates as high
as 38400, but no higher (KU is planning on upgrading its servers.)
Note that I've never seen kermit use more than one window, though.
Also, I use a high retry number because my link will sometimes hang
for an extended period (not kermit's fault) and start kermit's retry
sequence (which has timed out before.)
Thanks for any help, and good luck to the poster on getting improved
performance.
