db> * Same operating system and settings.
db> * Same comms drivers and settings.
db> * Same modem and settings.
db> * BTPE with 57.6Kbps DCE/DTE and built-in comms routines gets 26.4Kbps.
db> * BTEE with 57.6Kbps DCE/DTE and MAXCOMM.DLL routines gets 26.4Kbps.
db> * Zoc with 38.4Kbps DCE/DTE and built-in comms routines gets 28.8Kbps.

db> Bink (all of 'em) is stuffed - we're now down to a software problem, 

I doubt it.  You need to do more stats to determine that.  And
you said you were using a different \V for the tests with the
two.  Also, you can try using BT in terminal mode instead of
mailer mode.  BFN.  Paul.
