Varies from file to file and day to day (phone line conditions?). I have
seen average speeds for any given transmission of 3950.  One of my
downfeeds claims an average of 4000cps but that wasn't logged here.

Just checked the log from this morning's mail fetch:

+ 19 Jun 01:33:04 BINK CPS: 3911 (543711 bytes)  
+ 19 Jun 01:33:45 BINK CPS: 3917 (156680 bytes)

These are LZHed mail packets
