[comp.sys.proteon] Com-2 line speed question

Hello,
	Under process 5, you can get interface statistics. 
For a com-2 interface (i.e. a T1) one of the stats is line
speed. I am curious as to how this figure is arrived at?
If there are errors on the line, does this subtract from 
the speed?

	Another question: How does one go about measuring
line utilization? (i.e. get a percentage of use). Would
this formula work?

Given ifInOctets at times t1 and t2:

((ifInOctets[1] - ifInOctets[2]) * 8) / (1.54Mb * (t2 - t1))

Thanks in advance!
