- If you can figure this out, please let me know. I too have the USR 28.8
- Sportster. I rarely get a connect rate more than 14.4, but I can upload
- at 2500 cps. I can watch the progress bar on AMosaic and tell that I
- am not getting 2k/sec transfer rate. I can use DCC RECEIVE on IRC and tell
- the transfer is slow (sometimes ending at 300cps!), but DCC SEND yields
- transfer rates well above 2k/sec.
-
- Bypassing PPP.device altogether, I get the same results using Term 4.5
- when connecting to, say, Soft-Logik's BBS (which I know uses 28.8's).
-
- I'm beginning to wonder whether my (nearly) stock A2000 can handle
- incoming data at speeds of more than 1k/sec. Yes, 68000... but I do
- have the SupraTurbo 28 (which gives me 28mHz). I have 8 megs RAM,
- OS_3.1, 400mb HD.
-
- Did I waste my money buying a 28.8 v.34 USR Sportster? I'm stuck with
- it, since I've already sold my old Zoom 14.4!
-
- Or, could it be the modems at my ISP... they are in the process of
- upgrading their v.fast modems to v.34 (they're doing it POP by POP).
- I can call a (long-distance) POP that has v.34 and at least get a
- connect rate higher than 16800... but don't have the resources ($$$)
- to stay connected and run transfer rate tests.
-
- Any ideas, comments, suggestions... ?
