- I have a program which dials up the NIST computer time number and sets my
- computer's time. The way the NIST system works, you echo the characters it
- sends you, and NIST computes round trip delay times, flagging the time once
- it gets a consistent set of round trip delays (by changing a '*' to a '#' in
- the line it prints).
-
- When attempting to run this program with my new ZyXel U-1496E+, NIST never
- gets consistent round trip delay times (this is all at 1200 bps).
-
- I don't consider this an earth-shattering problem, but it is kind of
- interesting and I am curious if anyone has any idea why this might happen
- (the Intel modem I have does not exhibit this problem).
-
- P.S. I haven't taken the time yet to fool with all the possible modem
- parameters like turning off any buffering and turning off the "throughput
- averaging" stuff I seem to recall spotting in the manual somewhere. It
- wouldn't surprise me if one or more of these optional setting were at the
- root of the problem.
