I recently purchased two U.S. Robotics 9600 baud modems (courier HST) and like them very much. However there is one minor and one intermediate problem that I would like to solve. 1. When transmitting a screenful of information, the first 100 or so characters get displayed immediately, then there is a 1/4 second hesitation, then the remaining characters are sent without hesitation. Does anyone know the cure for this hes- itation problem? 2. When using zmodem, from the host to the remote machine there is no loss of efficiency (it seems that the host modem is sending back the ACKS because the remote machine is never asked to). However, in going from the remote machine to the host machine there is a huge delay, about the same time as it takes to transmit a 1k packet, while ACK is returned to the remote machine (here is where the 1/4 second hesitation is screwing things up but good - the hesitation exists even though the number of characters in the ACK packet is small). This can't be normal, right? Is there any way to get the efficiency up (without forging the ACKS)? Thanks to anyone who can supply the answers - U.S. Robotics couldn't.
