- Summary: ZMODEM CPS rate goes high
- X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]
-
- I have recently gotten a series of very high CPS dl's
- on 14.4 ZMODEM of ZIP files.
-
- Now, I have been suffering from line noise, (I need to
- get down to the basement and re-route a phone line which
- I installed paralell to electric wiring - duuugh, I thought
- that was OK at the time). I have been getting 1000 - 1300
- because of the noise. I used to get about 1620 or so
- before the line noise started.
-
- I have just gotten some dl's in the range of 1800-2100!
- I never got that, even before the noise. It is not the files
- being compressable or anything like that. They were all zip
- files from various sources.
-
- Here is the thing... I was going between two PC's, each on a
- separate phone line in the same house. Now, a severely
- uninformed person might have predicted this - Hey, there is
- only a short distance to go! But I know (or thought I knew!)
- that this would not make any difference - the call still has
- to go all the way to the phone office and then back, and these
- two phone lines are each on different exchanges from each other.
- I just don't see why this should have worked so well. Both
- lines are noisey. I was expecting 1000-1300 CPS as usual.
- I am stumped. Both PC's are still getting 1000-1300 on dl's
- from BBS's. What is happening here?
