General information:
Proxim's RangeLAN sucks. It has a throughput of about 50,000 characters
per second when transferring data between two PCs a few feet apart with
no other machines running RangeLAN.
Maybe other spread-spectrum stuff works better, but this is the pits.
I thought it was broken so I got several sets (PCMCIA boads), they
all had the same problem. Telephone calls to Proxim were not answered.
However, email was answered with:
Return-Path: judith@proxim.com
50,000 bytes/sec is approximately the throughput users report to us,
so if you are indeed seeing that, your units are working properly. I
am not sure why the calculations are so different from actual numbers,
but 50,000 bytes/sec is the right number.
