Datability's VCP Servers First to Support 57.6kb Baud Rate Datability's line of single and dual protocol LAT and TCP/IP terminal/communications servers now supports baud rates of up to 57.6kb, increasing port performance rate by 50 percent. Emerging technologies, such as V.32bis/V.42bis modems, new high-speed standard and `X' terminals and 386-based PCs running emulation software require servers to support baud rates up to 57.6kb. Current 38.4kb servers can't run this latest generation equipment at full throttle. New V.32bis modems operate at 14.4kb, and V.42bis compression technology raises modem throughput to 57.6kb. Modems connected to 38.4kb servers are unable to capitalize on the benefit of this latest compression technology. Higher port speeds provide network managers with a cost effective method to connect sites without the need for high bandwidth switched services. Remote sites can link with central sites by combining the use of the SLIP protocol with standard V.32bis/V.42bis modems. TCP/IP applications such as file transfer, electronic mail, dumb terminal and screen updates for bit-mapped displays will also benefit from the higher performance.
