- Somebody ought to know that I had to work semi-hard at getting 219 cps out
- of my worldblazer... of course, this was at 2400 bps vs a vanilla modem. (:
-
- On a Sun3 that I use, I managed to get ~1600 cps receive and ~950 cps
- transmit, but I *know* where the bottleneck is there. For transmitting, I
- get cut down by flow control problems between the worldblazer and terminal
- server on the other side and for everything else it's just the Sun's serial
- ports (max out at 19200 bps transmit, 9600 bps receive, etc). I simply
- lacked the ponies to do much better.
-
- People who like fast modems beware... I'm fairly unimpressed with the
- serial ports and drivers people stick on UNIX workstations.
