I take it you've experienced both ... In any event, I would sure like to
see a 33600 (initial) connect. The session I established with Paul last
week showed some good results (from what little results we had). I imagine
that if I had dialled his BBS and transferred the odd 1Mb file, the stats
would have proven just as good, if not better.
