Does the external modem wait until it's received an entire packet before it starts forwarding that packet? Does each byte cost 4 x 100mics locally - once to go out COM2, then once to go out of the external modem, then the reverse? And how big are those packets in this (gaming) case? >> Also when I download from a site I can get 7k a sec on down loads, and >> with 2 channels I maxed out at 10k a sec. The 10K is because your COM2 is limited to 115K, not 128K, and it also has to send extra synchronizing bits. Newer COM ports can run faster if they have the right software.
