I'd like to set up a Trailblazer Plus in China to support a customer there. Has anyone done this before? What's your experience of the quality of the transmission (UUCP and interative), between the U.S. and there? -- Randy Kunkee, System Manager Ferranti International Controls Corporation 12808 W.

Depends what you mean by China - we use a TB+ to get to Hong Kong and see thruput equivalent to ~5KBps, but we've had some reliability problems that haven't been fully worked out yet. Twiddling with the various documented and undocumented register settings supposed to help on overseas calls didn't seem to have much effect on the thruput, but might help reliability. It's one of those things that whenever you have time to play with it, it works every time... If you're calling the mainland, a lot is going to depend on the quality and condition of the local connection on that end and whether you get as good of overseas lines as to HK or Taiwan.
