PW>>> I think someone once said that when they crashmailed some place, it

PW>>> would be faster/cheaper to send it by 2400 than by V.34... ;)

PL>>> That is the case.



PW>> What is the fastest protocol in relation to handshaking time?



 DH> Probably 2400.   300 bps doesn't have a handshake per se - but it takes 

 DH> so long

 DH> to recognize the signal that it might as well have.



 DH> In any case, a good line will connect in only 1 or 2 seconds.



AS DOES HST



PW>>> What does the connect sound like?  No "boing
boing"??? <:( :)

PL>>> No, hardly any noise, as it connects very quickly.



PW>> What noise does it make exactly?



 DH> One sort of roaring hiss burst from each end, then a click as it 

 DH> connects.
