- Interesting point.....I have both types of Dial-in on our net. I dial-in
- @ 9600bps and with the NetModem E's I get about 900 bytes per second
- transfer rate. Using LanRovers at the same speed it's about 700 bytes
- per second for the same file, the transfer rate difference could be due
- to the fact that the Netmodem's on Ethernet and the LanRover is on
- LocalTalk....
-
- I think you will find that compared to the serial port speed, both Ethertalk
- and localtalk are so much faster that they are not the bottleneck. What is
- going on on the net that you have both of these devices on?
