PE> What speed do you have your com port locked at?  38400?

Yeah.

PE> Can you increase that to 57600 so that I can see what
PE> effect that has on your 100k uncompressed packets?

Wont help. 38400 gives a max cps of 3840, I dont get anywhere
near that with those, its uncommon to get over 3200. So increasing
the port speed wont help a bit, its nothing like limiting.

Thats clearly visible too, you can see the modem flow controlling
on that file, accepts a burst from the PC, tells it to stop, it
pumps that up the phone line, then when it needs some more, you
see it request more. The gaps with no data being sent between the
PC and the modem are the excess capacity at the current port speed.
Plenty of spare.

PE> I think you need to do this in the fossil, FD probably doesn't
PE> allow you to set it, but then FD doesn't govern the baud rate,
PE> the fossil does!

In fact FD allows you to specify what *IT* tells the fossil to
do with the port. Tho you can ALSO lock in the fossil itself too.
