[ont.general] Experience with Telebits anyone ??

oz@yunexus.UUCP (Ozan Yigit) (01/18/88)

We are almost in a position to buy two telebit modems for yunexus,
provided we can convince our admin people that these modems indeed
perform as good as claimed under Canadian carriers. If anyone
have had a chance to observe the performance of these modems in
Ontario, or in Canada, I would really appreciate hearing about it..
In fact, I would appreciate hearing about any/all experiences with
these modems in Ontario.

I will summarize the responses, for the benefit of other sites with
sceptical admin people.

thnx.	oz

Probably alot of sys admins will be interested in this so Ive done a
followup instead of a reply.
I recommend buying the telebits.

we ( watmath ), clyde, onfcanim and utzoo recently got telebits.
Some entries from todays SYSLOG are :  ( clyde is not in Ont )

we have just very recently changed our interface speed from 9600 to 19200
and expect faster rates as soon as others do also.
dave@onfcanim just mailed me this from his SYSLOG :
