- Thanks for that. I have set my port speed to 38400 and in the dialling
- directory set it to the same. When I do zmodem downloads I get about
- 1650cps (average) using DSZ Zmodem on a Zip file. But I have yet to see
- the much vaunted 38400 on text - i.e reading Fidonet news or just
- scrolling around doesn't seem particularly fast (faster than 2400 for
- sure!). I would have thought with V42bis on both ends (how can you tell
- both sides have it activated?) the text stuff would literally scroll
- instantaneously. I am using ANSI graphics so that imposes a small overhead
- but even then...
