Ted Rypma writes: I suspect that they are mixing apples and oranges in the package. What HDS was probably referring to was an X protocol speed improvement, which they probably got by both using Van Jacobson's header compression to get 40 byte IP/TCP headers down to 5 or 6 bytes AND compressing the average 32 byte short X protocol request/reply down to 5 or 6 bytes. That IS 10-fold; 5 x for each "header". But nothing to do with PPP vs SLIP without header compression. I think you need to check your arithmetic. -- Karl Fox, Morning Star Technologies +1 800 558 7827 1760 Zollinger Road, Columbus, Ohio 43221 +1 614 451 1883
