- At 14400, that file came in at 3600cps. I downloaded it to my Unix

- 8.4KByte/sec? That's 67,200bps. What kind of 14400 modem do you have
- that supports *MORE* than 57,600 throughput?
-
- Actually, that should be about 4.9:1 If your getting 8.4k/sec, with
- a compression ratio of 5.9:1 you would be getting 1424 cps without
- compression. This tells me that you must *NOT* be using v.42 error
- correction when *NOT* using compression. This is giving you the false
- compression ratios. If you don't use error correction, then the
- start/stop bits of each byte are *NOT* being stripped and this is why
- you would only get 1424 cps. With error correction *ON* you will get
- about 1700 cps and the *ACTUAL* compression ratio becomes 4.9:1

- Again, a 14400 modem that supports more than 57,600?

-
- My v.34 modem supports up to 115,200 bps, as do all the ones I was
- checking out before purchasing one. At least that what it says on the
- box. Maybe the manufacturers are wrong, who knows.
-
- You have stirred my curiousity even more. I will be looking into
- this much deeper. Thanks for your input.
