Does anyone have a quick-and-dirty way of estimating time needed
to down-line-load files over a phone line using kermit? I live
in an outlying area near Colorado Springs (livingly known as
west-Kansas) and every call I make outside my exchange is a
*long distance* call (not jus a toll call). So I'd appreciate advice
on how to estimate how long a DLL will take so I know how much Mountain
Bell will be tything me for...

I figured that kermit sends about 68 characters/packet. Once you
know about how long the file is (# of blocks * 512)/68, this will
give you a slight over estimation of the number of packets it will
take. Try to get a feel for how long it takes to send 100 packets,
and calculate from there

Well, I have been testing the time to kermit files. I use
a 2400 baud modem to a uVAX II.
Tonight 6 files ( mostly ARC files ) a total of 914 blocks
took 75 min of transfer time. I used Kermit in binary mode.
I have noted that ASCII mode is faster.
