- I'm calling to SFU on a ZyXEL U-1496E+ running a tty rate of 19.2kbps
- connected to a Hayes modem running at 14.4K.
-
- While Sun may have problems with their tty code, I've found that from my
- Sun3/60 I have few problems, provided I don't tax the CPU too much. I've
- been considering the possibility of trying 38.4 after upping the clockspeed
- on the machine from 20MHz to 25, but I doubt that'll give me quite the punch
- I'd need.
-
- Oh, and I'm not having any problems with either hardware or software flow
- control.
-
- If your really intent on improving upon this performance, you'll either be
- buying or writing a replacement streams package. On a Sun3 I'd know where
- to look for sample source, but not for SPARCs.
