[net.periphs] Telebit 10,000 baud modem

ghn@munsell.UUCP (Gary Newman) (08/19/86)

I'd like to know if anyone has had any luck using the Telebit
modem with uucp.  If so, please let me know what you had to do
and if you are willing to let go of the sources (we are source
licensed)?

Also, has anyone actually seen one work at 10,000 on a standard
phone line (as it is purported to do)?

It's been tried.  My understanding (I wasn't the one who did it) is that
it sort of works, but throughput is not what it should be.  Last I heard,
the firmware in the Trailblazer is changing almost daily, as Telebit learns
more about the problems of such modems and how best to solve them.  The
best advice is probably to wait.
