- I am curious - I have a generic 14.4 modem set for 57,600, Trumpet Winsock
- ver 2.1f with a PPP connection {MTU 576, MSS 536, RWIN 2144} , and am using
- the latest version of WS_FTP. I regularly appear to get download speeds as
- high as 11-16Kbps. Does this sound a little high for a 14.4 modem? Is
- WS_FTP correcly reflecting an accurate speed? I might mention that
- sometimes the displayed speed drops to as low as "3kbps" .
