- Hello Ade The Shade (adrian@abarnett.demon.co.uk),
-
- In comp.sys.amiga.applications you wrote about "Surf Squirrel?"...
-
- > Has anyone used the Surf Squirrel serial port? Does it really
- > make a difference to Internet access?
-
- It is not available yet. HiSoft are still writing the software. I spoke to
- them the other day and they now say end of Feb.
-
- Of course, when it is available, it should make a lot of difference :)
-
- I asked HiSoft about benchmarks but they declined as the software is
- incomplete.
-
- Without wanting to start a war on serial port speeds, lets say that the
- maximum DTE of the A1200's serial port is 57600, with the Surf Squirrel you
- will be able to run your 28.8k at 115200.
-
- Shaun.
