- It's not a compressed file but on the other hand its not
- very comprssable at all. Zipped, Gif or Jpg pre compressed
- files at a true 33.6 connection should go through at >3800
- cps using Zmodem not Cslip or PPP as they have a little
- more overhead or about 100cps less througput. My Courier
- for example runs 3315-3340cps@28800 using Zmodem with
- pre-compressed files and 3200-3250 cps with PPP.
