We use TR at W7RM's M/M. Nine computers networked this weekend. Baud rate
is not a limiting factor but things can slow down (primarily keyboard
responses) just because of the volume of data each computer has to handle.
(Imagine entering 4-5 times the data you normally enter at one computer -
continuously!) Faster 'puters - fatser! :>)
NO IRQ's!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The network worked GREAT this weekend Tree. One for the wish list though.
It would be nice if NOTES were ID tagged like the Q's are so if we put a
note in the log (say to fix a keyboarding error) that we didn't have to
identify which computer it came from. Boy, those Q's run by so fast some
times you can't scroll up fast enough before it scrolls out of scope.
