1st: you wont get 14.4k times 4 through put! I never have and never will
the best you can expect from V42/bis is 2 times.. or 28K for
text only..
2nd: I have used the system at 14.4k - and dont forgot a lot of file,
transfers are compressed - and u will get about 11-12k using
Zmodem and the CPU use on a 386/40MHZ was approx 20-30%
and i cant tell ya wat the load averages were.. coz
i cant remember.
This was using a normal (16450 nonfifo) serial card with
an extrenal modem.
i dont know about internals.. they are probably better because they
are direct hardware and the bytes of data go direct to
the modem hardware. *shrug*
ciao,
Christopher.
