He runs a small business doing industrial equipment monitoring. His servers dial the factory machines via ordinary 56kb modems -- but at 300 baud, to my considerable surprise. The reason is a good one, though, and one I would not have readily thought of. Modem negotiation is much quicker at such low speeds, and with only hundreds of bytes to transfer -- if that -- the speeds are not really an issue. Overall, this significantly lowers call times. -- Liam Proven ? Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven at cix.co.uk ?
