- This file summarizes the time it took to download a long file with
- the YMODEM protocol, a Hayes 1200 modem at 1200 baud connected to an IBM
- XT with a NEC V20 processor running with a standard crystal and four
- different communications programs.
-
- I downloaded file QMDM22.ARC, which is 123522 bytes long, from The
- Forbin Project bulletin board at (612) 824-8167. Since I am in the Twin
- Cities, this is a local call. The bulletin board runs under PCBoard
- software. PCBoard said the file contained 121 blocks, and it estimated
- the download time at 17 minutes, 57 seconds, or 1077 seconds.
-
- Each download was error-free. When possible, I used the clock on the
- screen; otherwise, I used a watch with a second counter. I could not be
- precise as to when the download actually started or as to when it stopped.
- As a result, the timings are not exact, but they should be within 5
- seconds of the actual time.
