Hello there Alex ....



 AM> G'day Bill,



 AM> What's the highest speed you have EVER got on any of your

 AM> 28.8 or 33.6 modems? A couple of nights ago, I got 4290 cps,

 AM> upload on a 28.8K connection. The file was compressed with PKZIP,

 AM> using maximum compression (-EX) and the file was about 1.6MB big.

 AM> Zmodem protocol, V.42 and V.42bis, etc. I thought maybe my comms

 AM> program was buggering up, but when the upload finished from their



It's lying! Simple.



 AM> end it reported 4290 cps average. What do you think? This modem

 AM> is a Netcomm Roadster V34, and the highest CPS rate I ever got

 AM> before was 3390 cps in the same situation as above.

                ^^^^^
