            The description is presented for the hardware and software of the testing system for the operating system of the data communications system station. The goal of the work was to provide a systematic computerized check of the operating system prior to the adoption for the experimental operation under frequent changes both in the hardware and software of the network. The set, of benchmarks ensures the sufficient checking completenc.es which contributes to the higher reliability and stability of the entire network.

      Personal computers used as terminals within the communications systems are able to operate in the file transfer mode. The user is provided with the tools to convert the virtual communications link connected created upon his request and to any host computer to the fde operation within the heterogeneous computing complex. To increase the communications rate the pipeline principle was used which allowed the growth of the virtual link throughput by 1,7-2 times and make the communications rate independent of the communications link length. The measurements were made to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed solutions.
