How can it be wrong? All the characters that newsreaders can display ASCII (as far as I know) are only 3 numbers long (0 to 999) which is what I was saying.

LOL has nothing to do with your original post about "bandwidth" .
Forget the number 3 has no use/meaning in PC's hehehe


Leo :)

PS; this will get you going....ASCII characters can be accessed by holding down the ALT key and typing in the 4 digit ascii number on the numpad.... for example the T symbol is an "ALT-0153" :) lol so now we have "4 digit ascii" too lol

Alt+7 is BEL - one-digit ASCII
Alt+12 is FF - two-digit ASCII

Those 4-digit "ASCII" are unicode, not really ASCII

Even those 8-Bit codes between 128 and 255 are not
really ASCII, they are not standard.

No, it's a byte value, it's got nothing to do with numbers lol. BTW it's 0-
127 for standard ASCII I believe (certainly not any more than 0-255).
