I've been dialing in to our appletalk network via a Shiva NetSerial and Courier dual standard (HST and v.32) modem. I've come in with both a v.32 modem and a straight Courier HST (no v.32), and noticed MUCH better (faster) performance with the v.32 for all network services. In theory the HST at 14.4 Kbps should be considerably faster than the v.32 at 9.6, but in operation it's barely faster than my 2400bps connnected at MNP 5. Can anyone shed some light? I realize the Courier is omptimized for HS transmission in one direction, but a tech support guy at Courier assured me that, in my case, I should still get good performance. Shiva tells me that many folks are using HSTs with NetSerials. Anyone ever run a similar comparison, or used an HST for network dialup for that matter? Thanks. -- Mick Laver laver@ucsd.edu Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD 619.534.2040 La Jolla, CA. USA 92093-0210 fax: 619.534.5306
