Hello,
can anyone tell for sure what is the unit used by kpppload. It says K/s
but is it kilo *bits* per sec or kilo *bytes*. Evidence gathered so far is
pretty confusing.
1) the speeds in netscape and kpppload differs by a great extent but
lesser than 8 times.
2) I have a 56kpbs modem so the max that i can get is 7 Kilo bytes per
sec, but I do remember kpppload showing some 12K/s ( Ok just for a
second...and it was ages ago ). So it can be either that the speed shown
by kpppload was 12 k bits per sec, or that the 12Kbytes per sec was after
decompression. ( So this opens another question, does kpppload give the
speed before or after the compression )
3) While ftp ing something with hash # the rates shown by kpppload and ftp
do seem to match in which case it is k bytes per second.
totally confused
