subject: Avtek 288 and CPS rates

Hi everyone! 
 
I've been using an Avtek FlashModem 288 v.34 with the Cooee comms 
package and want to know what is an acceptable CPS download rate using 
Z-Modem when I've connected at 28800/V34/V42BIS to a host system 
running Netcom 28.8's (ie Melb PCUG BBS during the morning) about 30km 
from where I live. The Avtek is using the Motorola chipset. 
 
After beginning a typical download, it starts out at 3000+ CPS; after 
{at}60 seconds and a few CRC errors (say 8), it drops back to {at}1500 CPS 
then, depending on the file size, mellows out to {at}1300 CPS five minutes 
and a few more CRC errors later. 
 
Is this an acceptable sort of performance? If not any ideas on what I 
could do to improve it, besides buying a Dynalink :) 
 
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
