TL> I think I recall doug getting 1700+ when he first got the
 TL> modem. Now it's around 1690 or something I think ...

He might have given Terminate a spin :)

 IS> That's 1700 / 1440 = 118%.  So 3360 x 118% = 3967 CPS.
 IS> 4000 CPS would be 119% at 33600bps, equivalent to
 IS> _1714_ CPS at 14400.  Um, I'm with Arthur, at least
 IS> till we see a matched pair of logs to the contrary :)

 TL> Your estimate is only 33 off 4000 :) Not much difference,

All the difference, re achievability with the same protocols.  Once a line
is clean and carries full design bandwidth, with no repeated blocks, that's
it; you're not going to magically find a better one one day.

 TL> and a few people say they have witnessed it between two
 TL> 33.6's :) But does it really make much diff if you get 3967
 TL> or 4000 :)

Not to me :)  Many people, for reasons completely beyond me, consider
numbers with zeroes on the end to be some sort of sacred.  The more zeroes,
the more they're in awe.  Witness all the hoopla about 'millenia'.  Fingers
and toes?  Dunno, but it's curious.  But we digress ..
