This sends it varous escapeM sequences and expect a response from the remote terminal. Only after multiple N exchanges will SET TERM/INQUIRE give up, issue a waring message and get you toL the % sign.

(Nasdaq: SUNW)today announces its Sun[tm] Crypto Accelerator C   1000 Board (SCA1000) delivering over 4300 new Secure Socket Layer D   (SSL) sessions per second when used with the Sun Fire[tm] 6800 andD   the iPlanet [tm] Web Server, a record performance level surpassingA   any other single secure web server solution reported to date. A E   dedicated accelerator board designed to offload session creation of F   an SSL transaction from the system's processor, the SCA1000 provides$   fast,reliable, secure connections.
 </excerpt>  D I thought that the press release had stated the number of processors< used in the 6800, but it isn't there, but the following URL:  l http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hw/networking/connectivity/sslaccel/suncryptoaccel1000/features.html  D which I found by doing a search for Crypto 1000 on www.sun.com says:  	 <excerpt>   SCALABILITY  7  Feature: Support for multiple boards within a domain.    B  Function: The Sun Crypto Accelerator 1000 board is able to handleD  over 4300 operations per second with 16 CPUs, and it is scalable to0  four boards on applicable Sun Fire[tm] servers.  
 </excerpt>  F Of course, it does not say what manner or cost of 16 CPUs are requiredD to get those 4300 operations per second with the card - if they were@ the 750 MHz, 900s, or 1.015s. Nor the "flavor" of SSL operations	 measured.   D FWIW, Sun's only published SPECweb99_SSL result thusfar, on the V480A with 900 MHz processors, was first announced by Sun on June 18th.   F http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflash/2002-06/sunflash.20020618.1.html  < and did not use the accelerator board. So, we have no direct@ SPECweb99_SSL a SPECweb99_SSL numbers to take the measure of the* accelerator board versus other solutions.   E There are some "SSLperf" figures for Itanium2 available on www.hp.com C if one wants to do the search. No figures for a 16-CPU machine, the ? two-CPU 1GHz Itanium2 results are 1446 transactions per second, 0 transaction details should be in the writeups atC ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/briefs/benchmarks/ but without B more details of the specifics of the SSL operations claimed by the: Crypto 1000 board we still don't have a direct comparison.  
