-> Mike,
-> A 33600bps non EC connect is capable of 3360cps...
-> (10bits/char =  (8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit))....
I've seen more than that with 28800 connections...
-> With error correction, V.42 (LAPM or MNP4), the data is
-> blocked and the start/stop bits removed... thus 8bits/char..
-> A 33600bps EC connnect is capable of 33600/8 = 4200cps..
-> The overhead Rick was refering to is a result of the control
-> functions of the error correction itself... of course the
-> larger the blocks, as you've suggested, will improve overall
-> performance, but never above the 4200cps...
Thanks for the Info, but lines around here aren't that good, so I'll
probably never see 33600...
