V.42bis algorithm is supposed to provide 4-to-1 data compression. This compression ratio is data dependent as pointed out in many previous postings. Does anyone know of a good text file to test the through-put of a V42bis modem ? Can a 511 or 2047 psuedo-random bit pattern be used as data to test the through-put of the modem ? In simple terms, if I buy a V.42bis modem how can I test it to see if I am really getting 4-to-1 compression (or close to it) ? Thanks for your responses in advance. -- Ravi Bagri AT&T Paradyne bagri@pdn.paradyne.com Tel: 813-530 8417
