There isn't a CPU monitor that can tell you that the system went into an interrupt or processor trap and how long it took. >> 750k/s - but accessing data at 6k/s through the serial port, >> ANY serial port, will cripple your machine) > > Hmm, I've never had a problem banging data over the SilverSurfer or a Zorro2 > Hypercom at 20KB/s (text over TCP/IP with 56k modem, port at 230400 bps). Apparently Zorro serial stuff isn't a problem, but your A1200 clockport (as I have here with a HyperCOM) is a serious bottleneck - you'll get a nicer throughput and experience from it compared to the internal port but that doesn't make it *so* good.. I'm assuming here that whoever it was who posted first (Andrew.. something?) is using an A1200. And my point still stands: it'd be far easier and far more efficient to use the PC as the gateway and sit your Amiga on the inside of the network. -- Matt _____________________________________________________________________ Voyager Mailing List - http://v3.vapor.com/ Voyager FAQ....: http://faq.vapor.com/voyager/ Listserver Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=HELP Unsubscribe....: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=UNSUBSCRIBE
