Chris, What is your view on using "pipelined" programming such as what was used in the SCAMP mode to get around this issue with moving the ACK to the next packet. The main penalty is latency for the user, but it seems manageable. 73, Rick, KV9U Chris Jewell wrote: >Suppose you're using you

It was on a linux system But that does not matter. The problem is EVERY time the computer "thinks" what do I need to do now - the timing is lost and so is the link. At 09:53 AM 8/27/2006, you wrote: >Have you tried it with an up-scale sound card on a >computer equipped with both a fast processor
