- I am currently taking a newsfeed through a university (which shall
- remain nameless, but Thank God John Robinson is back) in Los Angeles.
- To do this, I must go through my local carrier GTE, and through the
- carrier that services the university area, Pac-Bell. Further, the
- University has an Instanet Data PABX port selector that I have to
- navigate through, before I finally reach the system I want. To do
- this, I'm using a Telebit T2500, and going through what I believe is a
- Micom modem on the university side.
-
- My question: is all this routing through various switches causing
- my horrible throughput? I should be getting on the order of 1200 cps,
- and I get more like 400, if and when I don't time out waiting for the
- other end. I have tried every combination of register settings,
- disabling V.42, MNP, etc., but nothing improves this performance. I
- know it's not the modem, because talking to another T2500 (in the same
- GTE area) I got >4X what I'm getting now.
-
- Thanks for any thoughts on this. Responses through e-mail are
- preferred, but if you post here I'll eventually see it.
