Oh, very droll.

It was actually a CONNECT 33600/31200 (or 31200/33600 from David's end), so
if nothing else, the Rx rate here was at its maximum speed.

It's QmodemPro which uses .sav for the scroll-back buffer, but at least it
calculates its cps rates fairly accurately.

Should be about the same speed, once the remote's transmit buffer is full.

True, I'd forgotten avbout that.  First WPS crash I've had in 2 years too.

BTW, your "USR Zealots 'R' Us" business cards are ready to be

Jeeze Russ, it's only Arthur who needs convincing, after all...
