  You don't say what size files, and yes, it matters a lot. There is

How unfortunate it is that the CEO of Telebit doesn't understand how
the modems his own company makes work.

PEP is a fundamentally half-duplex protocol, which makes it almost
useless for TCP/IP or any other sort of low-latency application.
TCP/IP cannot effectively be spoofed by the modems, either, because
they would have to ensure end-to-end data correctness -- something
that a link between two routers can't do.  Unless Telebit has some
sort of full-duplex PEP waiting in the wings (perhaps a version that
dynamically splits the available bandwidth between the two modems),
V.32bis is still going to be the protocol of choice for use in dialup
IP applications.

It's also premature to say that V.FAST modems will "run data at
19.2Kbps", since the V.FAST committee hasn't even decided on a
modulation or a bit rate yet.  Most likely, V.FAST will support
multiple bit rates depending on the quality of the line being used,
with the highest speed somewhere between 20Kbps and 26Kbps.  But
nothing is final yet, and it's certainly presumptuous to say that
TurboPEP is faster than V.FAST.  (I should also note that V.FAST will
be xxKbps *full* duplex, whereas TurboPEP is 23Kbps *half* duplex.
As such, V.FAST is really providing somewhere around 40Kbps (or more)
of total throughput, instead of TurboPEP's 23Kbps total throughput.
And V.FAST will actually be useful for low-latency applications, since
it is full duplex and thus doesn't require any line turnarounds.)

Hi...

	I'm just curious, but I thinking I'm stating something obvious
anyway...

	I have a Worldblazer that is currently talking to a friends
T2500 in PEP mode, but the transfer speeds are atrocious :(  When it
connected, I got the message back '38400/FAST', which I presume is
the message I *should* be getting if it connected in PEP mode, right?

	Now, when I say the speeds are atrocious, uutraf (Taylor UUCP
stats) give me an AVG CPS of 206 after about 300+ files being 
transferred.

	Basically, my questions are:

	- would bad line noise account for this?
	- will setting S50=255 in my INIT/chat strings force it
to only connect in PEP mode? (that is my understanding from the
manual)
	- has anyone with a Worldblazer tried Linux?

	Realizing that my questions are probably vague...thanks for
any info you can relay to me :)

You'll get flamed (like I did) for mailing modem problems to that address 
since it's for their Netblazer support. Mail modems@telebit.com instead. 
(Don't ask me why they established a "support" id and then get annoyed when 
people first think to mail their non-netblazer support questions there.)

I had a similar experience, but it was all my fault.  The first time
I played with a T3000, I wanted it to behave exactly like the T2500s
I already had installed.  Using T2500 mentality, I started with "AT&F"
and built from scratch each of the settings, based on my T2500 settings
and register descriptions from the T3000 manual.  I failed miserably.
Somehow I couldn't quite get them to answer reliably.

Then I gave up and used one of their precooked defaults: AT&F3.
It worked!  Then all I did was tweak a couple registers and I had
everything I wanted.

There's always Telebit Tech Support too.

  If you're using the Synopsys Design Compiler and/or their ATPG product, you 
  might be interested in joining the E-Mail Synopsys Users Group (ESNUG).

  What we are is a group of hardware designers from all over the world who
  wish to trade experiences, bug reports and the techniques that we've
  found that work best in getting a design from a behavioral description
  to a final fully tested product.  This is a grassroots forum independent
  of Synopsys, Inc.

  A Sample of What We Discuss:

	- Known Synopsys Compiler Bugs    - Implementing Boundry Scan

	- Mentor related issues    - EDIF related issues

	- Hierarchical Compliations   - design_analyzer   - JTAG

	- How Various ASIC Vendors Model Their Macros.   - Clock Constraints

	- Using ATPG Tools   - The Best Way To Write State Machines in Verilog

	- Using VHDL   - System Simulation vs. Synopsys Friendly Code

	- Clever Workarounds to Known Pitfalls   - Testing Strategies

  In order to insure an open discussion, but yet keep our respective managers
  happy in having our company's projects remain SECRET, submissions to be 
  posted to the ESNUG mailing list can be stripped of identifying engineers 
  and company names if so requested.

  In addition, to further secure privacy and to avoid e-mail headers that
  are hundreds of names long, each mailing is a batch of singlely addressed 
  e-mail letters.

  If you want to join ESNUG, please send me e-mail to "jcooley@world.std.com"

Thanks for all of the responses (my mailbox is overflowing).  A lot of
you have requested more information on the desktop, so here it is:

The desktop system is an i386DX-20 with 1MB of core (80ns DIPS, I believe)
and a 200W power supply. It includes an MFM controller with 1.2M and 1.44M
floppies and an ST-138 32M hard disk.  The system has a mono/parallel adapter,
multi-I/O adapter and 1200 bps internal modem.  Also included is an ATI VGA
640 video adapter (sorry, no VGA monitor, though). Of course, there is also a
Casper GM-1288 monochrome monitor and 101 keyboard.

He would like to see $400US (plus COD shipping charges) for the whole system,
and is willing to negotiate.  If you're interested, just send me mail. First
best offer wins (going once, going twice ... :-)

Athena 2400 H Modem Card

The Athena 2400H modem card is a 2400-bps add-on modem card for IBM PC 
XT/AT or compatible computers.

Athena 2400H is FCC class B approved in both part 15 (guarantees 
radiation limitations) and part 68 (guarantees operation in compliance 
with your telephone systems).

The Athena 2400H modem card is designed to operate over dial-up as well 
as leased line circuits.  It provides various commands to dial or answer 
calls from your computer, and also allows you to directly access modem 
registers to modify certain operating parameters.  In addition, it can 
be set up to answer, dial and redial automatically.  I will also detect 
call progress signals to inform you of current modem status.  Without 
any doubt, Athena 2400H is a hi-quality intelligent modem to handle your 
current as well as future needs.

In addition, BitCom Delux (with MNP5) communication software is included 
in the package for maximuming operation power, ease, and flexibility.

Features:

If anyone is seeking a new method for designing Bitbus networks quickly
please send e-mail.

I am selling a Bitbus Network Server which can out perform nearly any
Bitbus network. It configures in minutes and requires NO programming.

The DCX51 and the RAC tasks remain intack, and there is no violation
of the Bitbus protocol specification.

For more info send e-mail.
