Too many variables to be specific, but at V.32bis you should expect
compressed files to transfer at between 1650-1680 cps on average with
Zmodem, and maybe 30-40 cps faster with MNP4 and Ymodem-g.  Uncompressed
files are theoretically capable of being sent at up to 4X the link rate
with BTLZ data compression (or LAPM), but normally the best you'll see is
around 2.5X (say 3500-3700 cps).  Regardless, it's always better to
compress these files first.
