- When using a WorldBlazer (in V.32bis mode) with Telix 3.15 and transferring
- pre-compressed data using zmodem, I notice that the cps rate Telix reports
- starts at about 1000 for a second or so then flutters around 1200-1300 for
- several more seconds before eventually reaching and sustaining 1600+ cps
- after 20-30 seconds.
-
- If I were only transferring small files, the WB might appear to be performing
- poorly. On large transfers, it seems to perform as well as my USR V.32bis
- did.
-
- I'll take the pleasant people (and Turbo-PEP :-) any day.
