- We're beginning to start setting up some fast modems. Apparently
- Telebit Trailblazers can go fast enough to use 115Kbps ports, when
- using their proprietary encoding and compression. This isn't a major
- concern to me, but even with v.32bis and v.42bis it looks like we'll
- be able to keep 57.6Kbps busy.
-
- Our dialups are mostly connected to 96-line terminal servers, which
- will shortly be using CSC3 processors. (I have a feeling we should
- have gotten CSC4's...) We make use of most of the features of
- terminal server, including X.remote, compressed SLIP, PPP (shortly),
- TN3270, etc. Obviously we don't expect to see 96 people
- simultaneously doing 57.6K file transfers. (Among other things, it
- would come close to saturating the Ethernet.) But as people start
- using some of these newer features, we do expect to see more data
- going through these boxes than we've had in the past. Does anyone
- (including Cisco) know what the limits of a single box are for the
- normal telnet, SLIP, and X.remote?
