Yes The difference is in the connection type.  If you have a 
compression/error-correction protocal active you will get a higher 
connect rate.  Nobody said they had a 57600 modem, just that was the 
connection reported.  BTW, that is generally taken (at least in my case) 
from the speed reported by the BBS.  i.e.  14400 / 57600 ARQ MNP? ad 
etc.    This gives you the actual connect rate then the ..hmm.. virtual? 
connect rate.  There is a big speed dif. between 14400/14400 and 
14400/57600!!    In running TMW I get even higher connect and cps 
ratings than through dos, so I think his problem was simply that he was 
using the standard windows comm driver, which for some reason has 
problems with speeds over 19200.  If you have a 16550 FIFO you 
definitely want to find a new comm driver for windows!
