Dermot; Sorry, not on a wireless setup. I have driven that road at that time and used it as an indicator of how a fast car and a wide road can become effectively a cowpath by congestion. A friend of mine, Norm Rashleigh, is an Ottawa based amateur radio type interested in packet radio access to the internet and they have a local wireless network. Here is a recent response I had about speeds of the network. Bill... I am not a user of ISDN, so can't say exactly... I have had ftp transfer rates on the 56k circuit between myself and another user on the radio lan as high as 4300 bytes/sec. The main bottleneck seems to be with the internet itself. Depending on the host, I can have transfer rates from a few hundred to 2k+ bytes per sec. There are just so many variables in the process. If you want to know more about high speed radio lan up here, tune into (he gave me a bad URL) and browse around.. cheers Norm Norm Rashleigh, norm.rashleigh@rcmp-grc.gc.ca His url was mistyped, so e-mail him Bill Check it out. As you can see his Ham call is VE3LC, mine is VE3GXR.(very inactive though) l
