Dear modem experts,
I would like to extend Eric's question: Is it speed relevant
whether I use internal or external modem on telephone line?
Yesterday I downgraded my hardware (Arachne is progressing so
fast that I am forced to change to slower PC!):
from Pentium 333 MHz with internal modem 115 Kbps
to Pentium 160 MHz with external modem 56 Kbps
The result is impressive: Arachne seemed to work faster. To get an
exact figure I ran WINDOWS and downloaded a file from a FTP
site. The download display indicated a 1,5 times higher speed
(instead of maximum 3,7 it was 5,5). What do these technical
parameters XXX kbps actually mean?
Regards,
Christof Lange
