OUT about 20 packets per second
1,28 to 1.29 KB/sec

Averaged over 1/2 seconf-
Interesting pattern with small gaps every 6 packets ?

As this is a DUPLEX transfer, data is 100% accurate- has to be.
This would be from a local mirror using broabband telephone connection
to a local exchange some 1 kilometer away.

Later, I will log a QT download from APPLE to compare a SIMPLEX
transfer.

I don't think I understand the point of this post. When computing data
transfer, are you counting total bits transferred or net data
transferred?

When you emphasize *duplex* vs. *simplex* are you distinguishing between
full and half duplex or do you really mean a true one-way transmission?
If the latter, where do you get a one-way transfer from an Apple
download server?

In ye olden days, SIMPLEX was one way transmission with no check of
accurracy using checksums.

DUPLEX checked accuracy of data using checksums. If a packet failed a
checksum, then a request was sent back to the sender to retransmit that
packet ! This process repeated until accuracy was obtained or
"transmiission failed" signal was sent.

Any further advances on this very old method for data transmission ?

I might go back and read your ASCI2 code !

Keep it coming Bernie Mac, you're funnier than the USA's Bernie Mac.
