We run netbsd 0.9 with all std silo drivers at 57600 with 28.8 modems and get peaks of >40K with text files. 26K is common with binary files and other net traffic. The ESP board has in/out 1024k buffers and emulates a 16550 (albeit with huge buffers). 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for barrnet.geog.ps (176890 bytes). 226 Transfer complete. 176890 bytes received in 35.86 seconds (4.82 Kbytes/s) 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for forum-1.6c.tar.Z (186443 bytes). 226 Transfer complete. 186443 bytes received in 61.99 seconds (2.94 Kbytes/s) No overflows. -- The Wailer at the Gates of Dawn | banshee@cats.UCSC.EDU | Just who ARE you calling a FROOFROO Head? | | DoD#0667 "Just a friend of the beast." | banshee@ucscb.UCSC.EDU | 2,3,5,7,13,17,19,31,61,89,107,127,521,607....| banshee@ucscb.BITNET |
