G'day Albert,

Impossible on a 28.8K for a ZIP file, unless it's been set for minimum
compression and the port speed is 38400. You must have one of the 33.6K
Smartmodems.
In a mag I read, the Roadster performed the fastest by 30cps on a 28.8K
connect in good lines, getting 3353cps. On the best days, mine topped
3430cps for two minutes and averages about 3350cps depending on BBS and
lines.
