Hello Kris,

 SM> Just curious... more stable than what?

KS>More stable than Sio. With Sio I had regular 45333 connect with
KS>Internet, seldom 48000 or 49333. With Quatech drivers I do have
KS>regular 48000 connect, and seldom 45.333 or 49333.

That's your experience. I have regular 48000 connects to my ISP with a
TeleWell 56k V90 modem and SIO.

KS>On Fido Iwas always stuck with 28800, now I do have almost 31200; on
KS>the same BBS's, ofcoz.

The same modem gives me 3700 - 3800 cps Fido transfers both sending and
receiving. That is the maximum speed to be expected from a 33600 bps
analog connect. Still using SIO.

KS>Imho, the Sio never have match completely the move from Warp 3 -->
KS>Warp 4.

Again, that is your experience. Mileages may vary.

 SM> Of course, you factored in the cost of the Quatech board?

KS>The files are free for download. A free 32 port version. Don't see 
KS>much reason to pay for more for getting less.

You seem to avoid answering that question!

Have a nice day,

Holger
