[comp.sys.proteon] percent bandwidth used on serial

nick@noc.sura.net (Nick Lemberos) (12/04/90)

I am wondering if anyone has any (or knows of any) software that 
can tell me what percentage of my serial line is being used over
a given period of time.

I want to upgrade one of my 9.6 connections to 56kb.  I "feel" it
needs to be done, but it would be nice to have some numbers to prove
to myself and others that we are using 80%+ at peaks.

It is easy to get the number of packets and the KB info..but I do not
know what is the max thru put of the com4 interface on our p4200 and
the serial interface on our p4100.  Doing some math I should be able
to get some ruff numbers...

If anyone has any information....please past it on to the group or to
NICK@UMUC.UMD.EDU.   

                          thanks
