Hello there Kris ....



 SM>> Hi everyone. My name is Steven Micallef. I have a

 SM>> SimpleModem 28.8kVFC. My average CPS rate is 3500k. I would like

 SM>> to know what your average cps rate is. If you do bother to reply,

 SM>> could you tell me the brand and speed. Thank you. Steven Micallef

 SM>> :-)



 KR> You're getting a very good connection, you're using data

 KR> compression and your target BBS is fairly local. Lucky you.



All the above is probably true but there is no way he is averaging 3500

on fully compressed files with a 28800 modem. Not possible, no way.



 KR> I usually get 3300 on a good day. That's not often around

 KR> here.



If you're getting 3300 then you're doing bloody well. You wont do much

better.



 KR> I use a Maestro Exec 288FM (v.fc) It's pretty good for what I

 KR> do with it. I'd be happier if Albany didn't have extremely crud

 KR> 'phone lines.



If you can screw a 3300cps transfer across these lines then I would

hardly call them "crud".
