- Don't be sorry, I want more input on this. I did some testing on the
- "bible" file. Without compression, I got 3385cps, with compression,
- 7680cps. That's a comression ratio of 2.26:1 I *know* that the v.42bis
- protocol can compress files to 4:1. Some files can go as high as 10:1
- and more (contrary to popular belief). I'm just disputing Mr.
- Kristal's claim that he *regularly* gets 10k/sec on general text
- files. Iv'e asked for a specific site and file name, but I guess he is
- unwilling to back up his claim. His test file is useless for real
- world comparisons. I would like to see 3:1 or 4:1, as a test for my
- own modem and to just see it for myself.

- Thanks for your input
