- All right, I figured I'd better put my $.02 in....
-
- I'm set up with A3000 (2M chip, 4M fast, 25 MHz), VLT, xprzmodem, and
- baudbandit.device under 2.04, downloading to RAM:. I've got a ZyXEL
- U-1496E, locked at 38.4Kbps DTE rate.
-
- When I dial up my school modems (V.32 9600bps, V.42bis compression),
- things really screw up. I get major problems with downloading. This
- included errors, dropped characters, and so forth. My max data rate
- on a zmodem download (after all the errors) is about 550cps.
-
- I just dialed up the ZyXEL BBS (ZyXEL proprietary 16,800bps, V.42bis).
- I downloaded a text file and got over 3000cps (compressible file,
- remember).
-
- So, the Amiga probably is not the major problem in a situation like
- this. I got a 5X difference that depended on the place I called, not
- the way I was set up here. In addition, the very high data rate
- (3000cps) did not present a problem on my machines. I don't know what
- would happen on a 68000-based machine.
