subject: Modem speed

JA>   I have a Netcomm Roadster 288 which has the 33.6Kbps sticker on it. 

 JA> This I assume it works as a 33.6K modem.



 JA>   Just to verify with anyone out there that has a 33.6K modem:



 JA>   assuming the connection is at 33.6K and the line is fairly free of 

 JA> noise,

 JA> what speed should the data transfer be for a 1 Meg Zip file using Z-modem

 JA> through a BBS be? 



3800cps to near 4000cps



 JA>   At the moment I get the speed of around 3200 cps + or - 100 cps on most 

 JA> days

 JA> when I download files from BBS using Z-modem on Q-modem pro for Win 95. 

 JA> Is this

 JA> a fairly alright speed or is my modem a fake 33.6K fax modem??



3200cps to 3300cps is 28800bps throughput
