  19. As an additional number in the download-display
  20. (the WHILE-downloading display), the number
  21. that comes on the modem-box is the one we
  22. all know best.  So, how about a speed-number
  23. in THOSE units also -- PLUS a percentage
  24. of the connected-at speed we are then
  25. running (downloading) at.
  26.  
  27. Would make it easy to compare current
  28. situation with:
  29.  
  30. 1: what % of the POSSIBLE speed the
  31.    communications is running at,
  32.    ie whether the communications is
  33.    all loaded up and slow, or 
  34.    (wow!) running at 100%.
  35.  
  36. 2: what % of that the current KERMIT-params
  37.    are giving us, for easily-remembered numbers
  38.    for comparison with that from OTHER settings
  39.    for Kermit.
