- These speeds from v.32 or v.32bis connections usually indicate some type of
- data compression is being used, i.e. MNP-5 and/or v.42bis, and that you get
- large volumes of news. Large enough to matter at least. If your not using
- v.42bis or MNP-5 then this won't help and I dont know what else might work
- for you.
-
- Disable MNP5 and V.42bis before calling a UUCICO session (this can be done
- easily in the DIALERS section). When I did that I consistantly get throughput
- of 850 to 900 cps receive and 550 to 650 cps when sending. This is with 'g'
- protocol and the standard packet sizes and windows sizes.
