Re: sz transfer rate



Hello!

Does "high_speed" as an option to setserial imply 16450? I thought that you
need to write "setserial uart 16450" to do that... 

In my opinion another possibility exists. It is that the link is not 8-bit
clean. This is probably true for most ISPs / Universities where the connection
goes through a terminal server. Why even in plain Unix you can hook up a modem
and tell the port to do xonxoff... SZ from the host to your home knows about
the port setup, but if you don't use "sz -e" to escape all control chars
when sending to the ISP's machine, it might not work. 

The 400bps rate is of course due to the errors. Since your modem's buffers are
probably pretty large, say 256 bytes at least, then by the time the retransmit
request arrives, you have sent a lot already.

By the way, Omer, do you get a high trasfer rate when with FTP 'put' from
home?
