Small packets are used for the standard ("g" - named after Greg Chesson) UUCP
protocol, but most implementations of UUCP I've seen know about a number of
other protocols, such as "e," "f," and "x."  There's a FAQ bulletin posted in
news.answers that probably goes into more detail.  In any case, some of the
protocols (like "x" I think) assume an error-free link, such as one could
expect (?) between a serial port and a modem (perhaps not, especially at high
speeds??), which would, I assume, use larger packets - or perhaps no packets
at all.  Maybe someone who knows more on the subject could post a followup.

According to the FAQ (which I just located), there is an "INITB" initialization packet that permits the two sides to negotiate a packet size to use.  I don't
know what kinds of packet sizes the Telebit firmware is prepared to negotiate,
though.

If anyone wants to read the FAQ, here's some information which may help:

I don't know what they are prepared to negotiate, but the only thing that works
with a TB+ and WB in spoofing mode is 3 windows of size 64 bytes.

My experiments with a Telebit 2500 indicate that Telebit spoofing only
works when using 64 byte packets.  If I used larger packets the
Telebit would refuse to transfer data.

There is no advantage to using a larger packet size for a local modem,
since the round trip time is so small.  The packet size used between
the computer and the modem does not affect the communication between
the two modems, which is done using the completely different PEP
protocol.

Larger packets might help if you were going over a network to the
modem.  In that case you might possibly be better off turning off
spoofing and simply using large packets.

Technical spoken, you are right, but I noticed a severe impact of the DTE
speed to the modem<->modem throughput.
With the TB2500 running at 19200 baud DTE speed my PEP users got something
about 1300-1500cps (without compression).
Running the worldblazer at 38400 baud (the highest baudrate unix provides
without a fas-hack) the performance went down to 900-1050cps.
57600 (fas-hack) yielded someting in the range of 1200-1380cps.
115200 brougth back the old 1300-1500cps.
This samples were taken over a week and with severe megabytes of traffic
over the line.
It seems that at lower DTE speeds packets get more and more delayed by
the worldblazer.
This behaviour is somewhat false because in PEP and V.32 (not bis) modes
the modem can't be overrun at 38400.

Subject: Is xremote spoofable?
Organization: Mentor Graphics -- IC Group
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 1992 22:33:07 GMT

I was playing around with xremote the other day and it seemed that the
"transmit" light wasn't on 100% of the time while sending large amounts
of data to the terminal.  (nor was the receive light on 100% at the
terminal end).

Is this a protocol that could get a performance boost from spoofing?

Being a protocol designed in the last couple years, I would think it
would be fully windowed, etc. so that spoofing would be redundant.

I have a big problem: a hard disk (105 Mo) that's continually doing
the same thing : lost clusters, lost chains, crossed-linked chains, diff

for DOS, but as soon as I work in windows, and do a couple of jobs, if
I check again in norton, it tells me the same kind of problems came back
except in new locations of the drive...! And it happens even if I don't
work in windows, I think.
Here is the kind of machine :

Do you guys think I should perform a new Low-level format and then forma

Date:     Monday, October 5, 1992
Time:     7:30pm


  Today's computer job market is both "lively" and "stagnant"!

  That may seem to be a contradiction, but certain areas of the
  computer job market are actively seeking people with specific
  skills, and yet other skills are rarely in demand.

  Our speaker will give us some insight as to what the job market
  is doing now, what the future looks like, and how computer
  professionals can position themselves to take advantage of future
  opportunities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to the meeting, there will be an informal, non-structured
"guru" session open to anyone wishing to attend.  This will start
around 6:45pm in the meeting room, and we will have one or more
gurus available to discuss whatever topics/problems/questions the
attendees care to bring up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
It is with great pride that we recognize our Corporate Sponsors.
Being aware of the contributions made by the AUUG membership to the
UNIX community, these firms, both large and small, have made a
commitment to provide financial assistance for defraying the
operating expenses of AUUG.  We are both pleased and grateful for
their sponsorship, and hope that they will continue to support AUUG
in the days to come.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
         Next Meeting:  Monday, November 2, 1992;  7:30 pm
-------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who need some sustenance before the meeting, you will
find kindred AUUG spirits at "Everybody's Restaurant" near White
Hall.  Drop in any time after 5:30pm to sit around and chew the fat
(and pepperoni).  This is a chance for folks to get together and
exchange rumors, ideas, assistance, etc.

I have a copy of OS/2 2.0 (Complete package, not an upgrade)
still in shrink wrap for sale. Disks are 3.5".

Will sell for $55.00 shipped UPS Ground anywhere in the Continental USA.
Price is firm. Even the upgrade price has gone up to $79.00 now. So
I think this price is a very good deal. Email me if you are interested.
