Hi!
About a month ago we posted an offering for free feeds to any
organization with a reasonable readership and ability to refeed
to other, new nodes. This offer is still open.
However, the real reason for this posting to to comment on
how impressed I am with the Trailblazer modems. We have both Trailblazers
and HST's at spl1 and have recently begun to start feeding sites with
them. The performance numbers are terrific.
On our trailblazers (not enough traffic on the HST's yet) we get
about 1100CPS on compressed batch feeds, even to simple old 386
XENIX machines! Yes, a full feed out in less than 45 mins!! Even
on a micro!
Well, I'm sold on these high speed units, and hope the net continues
to upgrade. The possibilities for faster email service, feeds and lower
phone costs are terrific!
