Pima has
24 modems on-line. They have 379
AccuVotes. I just talked to
Bryan. He says at the high
transfer point, which would be 10 to 15 minutes after the poles close, they
have 18 modems max active receiving data.
The ratio would then be around 20-1. Disclaimer: I am not saying people should quote
20-1. This is just what Pima told
me. Mike Brown 1611 Wilmeth Road McKinney, TX 75069-8250 972.542.6000 800.433.8683 -----Original
Message----- What
ratio are you guys using? can we up our
normal 10 to 1 ratio of telephone lines to polling places? Sorry I
missed the 10-1 ratio comment. Is that the same ratio that we have always
used from the VTS days? VTS used to hold the line open while results
posted to the database, while GEMS closes the connection once the results are
received but before they are posted. We had talked back when GEMS was
released to Jefferson (our largest account at the time) about increasing the
ratio. Probably the best thing to do would be to contact Pima and
Jefferson and see what kind busy signals they are getting with their current
ratios. This
has to do with changes to GEMS vs VTS though, not modem speed. Ken |
