There is already a degree of Huffman-type compression in PSK31 via the Varicode, where the number of bits per symbol depends on symbol frequency. Compression that depends on the text that went before it could be more efficient, but would lead to total loss of the following text in the ecent of

If it is the same protocol as B1F, was the reason for developing it, that the B1F did not have the needed exchange to work with Winlink 2000? So it is basically an extended version to do more "things" that they need to have it do? I don't think that I am fully understanding what your code is be

The Winlink 2000 promoter brings up B2F from time to time with the claim that this is what makes their system have the extra efficiency. But apparently this is a bit overstated. Is it possible to use more compression in the current keyboard modes or is Varicode about as good as can be expected?

I am afraid it is as Rein says. FBB, which uses B1F compression (hope I remember right) does not compress the sysop keyboard, but just the BBS traffic. JNOS has a compressed ttylink mode that uses LZW and has never worked for me (compile errors), but which might provide an edge. PTC-II boxes

Rein, I am not clear on this. The B2F compression is used with Winlink 2000. I am not sure what it really is other than a compression scheme to nearly double plain text throughput and is some kind of adaptation to the protocols that were adopted by FBB such as B1F. Shouldn't this work with eve

Demetre, Correction SCS says..."On an average channel, PACTOR-III is around 3.5 times faster than PACTOR-II. On good channels, the effective throughput ratio between PACTOR-III and PACTOR-II can exceed 5. PACTOR-III achieves slightly higher robustness at the low SNR edge compared to PACTOR-II.
