Was referring to 1X30.TST  Hopefully, this will be clear on the box.
Wouldn't want newbies thinking they had bought a 230k4 modem then
shouting "swiz" when they only get 3,400-3,500 cps on fully compressed
files' transfer max

OK, well that's what I'm after.  For ZyXel, Hayes and (one other forget
name) to claim faster thruputs, they should use this file as the standard
And make available some log extracts showing this via POTS, since these
are domestic modems with publically-made claims of this capability

Thanx for that

Aha!

On trunks regularly get >3.7kHz over here but that's unpredictable and
varies with load (strange that :)
 JP> RPI  modems are suitable as doorstops.  Your smilage may vary.)
Am awaiting my ComStar (with the _next_ ROM :) which does both at V34Plus
