For local connections the ping time used to be 0-10ms (average 5) higher for Linux due to lack of special handling for packet framing characters in the driver. Anything more than that is probably caused by the modem. I see these ping times for local connections at 115200 bps: UARTs slip ppp 16450 --> 16450 16.0ms 25.0ms 16550 --> 16450 16.5ms 25.5ms 16550 --> cd1400 17.0ms 26.0ms (new cy driver) The differences are due to different or nonexistent input fifo timeouts.
