Besides voluntering "rpics" which I think meets your requirements, I'd like to pass on some info, there are a number of other people (myself included) who are interested in a 'p' protocol at Cornell and Gould in terms of collaberation on drafting the requirements and implementation. One of the behavioral characteristics of this modem is that if you can feed it 4000bytes/packet its happy and the throughput is excellant. That is on the UUCP front. On the INTERNET front we are currently stymied (though I haven't put as much time into this as I should due to my multiplexed life) with running SLIPNET (SL) over a leased two-wire connection between rpi and cornell, we seem to be interacting with its flow-control and have backoffed to good old V.22bis. > > [A plug for Lauren: I've emperically established that flow control is *THE* > issue when trying to use these modems.

(No, I can't loan anyone a modem! :-)) I guess that you can contact me if you desire via email of phone (518-266-8114). -- marty schoffstall schoff@csv.rpi.edu seismo!rpics!schoff
