Once upon a time, Peter Sureda spoke thus to Tony Molina:

I've also discovered that when downloading files from this BBS
(Melb PC), I am now getting CPS rates closer to what I was led to
expect with 28.8k.

With the other 28.8k modems I've used, I averaged around 2800 cps
with compressed files. With the USR, I'm getting over 3200 cps.
This is unusual because as far as I know, the Melbpc BBS haven't
changed anything on their side recently (using rack mounted
V34 Netcomms I believe).

To any Melbpc BBS users reading this , what CPS rates do you
average on compressed files during 28,800 connects?

Adios,
