I haven't found it!) I have several modems (4) all communicating at speeds of 9.6/19.2k and I can grab any modem from the pool, dial out and initiate a Zmodem transfer and get throughtput just as good as if I were calling out from a single user PC under DOS. With the HST modem, 1707 cps on archived transfers is the norm. Hardware? 25mhz '386 with smart serial board (10 mhz 80186). OS is ISC 2.02 System V. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA uucp: larry@nstar -or- ...!iuvax!ndmath!nstar!larry "Don't waste your time with QNX!"
