At least this is what : > telebit claims. We shall see. : : Or simply turn PEP micropackets off with S500=2 (register S120=16 : on the T2500 and below). I am not sure what you are trying to say here. There is no register S500 that I know of on the WB. Howver, if you mistyped and you really meant S50, that register controls the modulation speed and S50=2 is 1200 baud, which is unacceptable for my applications and probably most other sites as well.. Perhaps you meant the protocol support register, S111 (=30) on the WB and TB+, which controls whether or not UUCP g-protocol spoofing is enabled? This can drastically affect throughput if turned off. Furthermore, I am not terribly sanguine that the ability of the WB to connect to the TB+ is purely a function of PEP mode. Perhaps you could elaborate....? I would like to be able to keep the same throughput and tell my feed sites what register to change that will allow my WB to connect to their TB+/etc without forcing them to get the new TB PROMs. derek -- Derek Terveer Work: derek.terveer@stpaul.gov +1 612 292 6009 Play: det@hawkmoon.mn.org +1 612 683 0413 "Big business and big government distract us with entertainment; they manufacture our consent while we destroy the environment." -- "Friendly Fascism" -- Consolidated /* what a great band */
