Re: how many nmaps to a t1

[<jaye_gettes () hushmail com>]

Is there a lot of loss though, with normal mode, or any at all?  The
way I read the documentation, it seemed to me warning that there might
be some, and since my scan are more worried about accuracy vs speed,
I thought I had to use "polite", but I also have to deal with about 150
Class B's that need to be scanned.

Please let me know what you think.  and thank you
