(I asked about this a loooooong time ago, but never got any response...)
Has anything been done about the poor V.120 performance on the PM?
I consistantly get approx 5.4K/s transfer rates with V.120, and 7.3K/s
with PPP. Equipment on my side is a Linux box with a bitsurfr. I got
pretty consistant 7.0K/s doing V.120 with a UTA220k on an async port
of a PM before switching to the BRI cards.
