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

Yeah, I thought I'd get replies saying that. It sounds like bull to me too,
but when both ends report it, I believe it. I also timed it using my watch,
at 3300cps it'll do 1000000 bytes in 4:58, it was below 4 minutes when it
reached 1,000,000 bytes, and I trust my watch. Telix also reported the same
thing. The file was 1.6MB.

 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.
 RL> ^^^^^

Why did you highlight the before bit? I changed nothing, and it was definitely
a ZIP file. Why don't you try the BBS? It's called Stargate and it's in
Melbourne, don't have the number on hand but it's in the VIC BBS listing.

 RL> Even that is good for a Roadster. The 4290 is not even remotely
 RL> possible giving your example above.

Hey, 3390 is good for any modem. In a magazine I read, the Roadster kicked the
ass out of all the other 28.8K modems at the time, including the 28K Courier
at the time.

Regards,
Alex
