Hello Ken,
Yes, Mark is correct. RDC is short (in my book anyway) for Remote Desktop Control aka Terminal Services or Citrix etc…
Yes, I subscribe to www.wunderground.com for my weather information. The $5 a year it costs is well worth the money IMO (in my opinion). <grin>
Pulling current, animated radar images over my Sprint DATA card has not given me any trouble. Speed test confirmation from www.testmy.net :
:::.. Download Stats ..::: Download Connection is:: 654 Kbps about 0.65 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Download Speed is:: 80 kB/s Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/09/18 - 4:26pm Bottom Line:: 11X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 12.8 sec Tested from a 579 kB file and took 7.25 seconds to complete Download Diagnosis:: 90% + Okay : running at 96.04 % of your hosts average (spcsdns.net) D-Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/stats/id-814GRHMXW
I’ve seen well over 1Mbps before, but even then 654Kbps isn’t that bad. Latency typically looks like this:

Two questions. What is RDC? Is the data rate for the Sprint card high enough to download color weather radar images quickly? Ken Chipps
