I once saw a system transferring a .ARJ compressed file using a 14k4 connect 
showing a CPS rate of ~4300CPS.  The owner had set the fudge factor in 
Terminate to 200%  since that "gave him faster file transfers".  It took 
about 5 minutes work with the stopwatch functions of his watch to convince 
him that it wasn't so.
