What does command _set memory threshold critical/high/low do? For what is this threshold used? P.S. (for them who dont know): to show hidden commands type "_reveal commands" and then type "?".

Yep, I was working that late - Wish this was one of Shannan's boxes. This morning, the ARC on this unit rebooted again. and absolutely every B-channel was local out-of-service.

Anyone have an explanation how throughput as measured by bing and bandwidth.com being half or less the connect speed? One box recently has 50,333 connects and 20kb downloads. Jim Tarvid

ISDN CPE Question
by Joel - Fox Computers 07 May '03

07 May '03

Got the following email earlier and didn't have an answer. Anyone here have a good suggestion? Quick question, Do you know of a good working customer end modem to use on a ISDN line to dial into TC100 (HiPerARC, HiPerDSP,HiPerNMC) gear? I hear that Verizon is going to offer a test ISDN flat rate service to selected 'rural' comunities in my service area (Northern NH) to satisfy political presure to provide 'Broadband' services where no other affordable High Speed conectivity is available. I'd like to be able to offer aN install package with CPE to take advantage of this "_new_" ;-) product in the three towns they (Verizon) are going to run this test case in.

Depends on where you're doing the test from. If you're testing to any site on the internet, 40K is normal, 30K isn't unusual, without compression. -----Original Message----- From: tarvid [mailto:tarvid@ls.net] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2003 4:32 PM To: Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modemsystems.
