I'm using TED as an editor for replies. I'll just have to make

sure I  dont exceed the 70-75 mark.

I don't monitor it as such. I cant give you facts and figures.

I sit watching the download (only takes 40-50 seconds

on average) and have not noticed much in the way of errors. 

I have a pretty bad line despite what Telescum says, I BBS a lot

looking for Genealogical data, and always see line garbage appear on

screen  at Menu levels. I get to see a lot of BBS parts that dont

interest me when the line noise just happens to be a menu choice.

As to downloads, the only time I've had probs. is when I tried

Windoze. Download CPS hover around 1400 cps and Bink says approx.

75% efficiency. I haven't noticed any real difference between

your modems but was amused by the "echo noise" they generated.

TTFN. Robert.
