Your modem can compress data, so you'll want to keep the comport at higher rate. As a test, I made a file containing 100.000 "*"'s. I transferred it with a connect 1200 (connect 300 went into fax-mode instead), but the modem could transfer it at 57600; the highest speed the modem accepts. If you surf and get lot of text, it can compress quite a bit, especially mail and news. (Here I disregard the fact that the ppp-layer can compress data before it reaches the comport) Leif Neland leifn@image.dk --- |Fidonet: Leif Neland 2:234/49 |Internet: leifn@image.dk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
