All I know is that FutureSource is 19,200bps
On a Sidenote......
I think BMI's baud rate went down after they were bought. I remember the
ads in Investors Daily bragging about transmitting 6,000cps. That would be
in the area of 57,600bps. Then a few years later I call to receive one of
their demo floppies.
I noticed on there demo that it was bragging about transmitting 4,000cps
which would be 38,400bps.
With such a baud rate difference It is unlikely that BMI lags FS by 30sec.
Then again it FS may be faster since it does not have the data load of Stock
info to send along with the Futures.
Any thoughts?
