Paul,

 PE> Could you do me a favour and log on to the Dick Smith 
 PE> Electronics BBS and try downloading a file, and tell me 
 PE> what CPS rate you get.  The number is 878-1146. BFN.

Done.

Requested 4 files:

BBSALL.LZH      87K
BBSFALL.LZH     82K
LHA213.EXE      70K
F3FIX1.ZIP.     30K


The interesting thing is when I was downloading the first file 
(BBSALL.LZH), I was getting a transfer rate of 520CPS. Then I aborted 
the transfer, and restarted it, and the average CPS rate jumped to 
1077CPS !!.

So I again aborted the transfer, deleted the remnants of this file, 
because Zmodem auto recovers, and started it again. >1000CPS again.

The remaining files also transferred at 1080CPS.

I also logged on to 2000 & Beyond BBS, and transferred a 350K file, and 
though I had an exteremly noisey line (about 50 CRC errors), the average 
transfer rate was around 860 CPS.

This was one-time transfer, not aborted in any way.

Does this help ?

Dieter
