-> Ah, but that's the point. This started with your assertion
-> that you saw 4400 cps throughput with a fully-compressed file.

That statement is the one you made.  It _clearly_ says you had
4400cps throughput with V.34 on a compressed file.  All others have
told you here is that is _impossible_ - and explained why - which
leads to the inevitable conclusion that the file was not fully
compressed (like a zip archive) and that modem-based compression
resulted in the higher throughput.
bc> Sheesh people.... some of you need to get a life. I can't

It's not bickering.  It's pointing out the _correct_ reality - that
the file was not fully compressed.
It's educational, that's all. :-)
