- Thanks for the correction, Willard. My typing skills are not quite
- up to the modem-spec-alphabet-soup. I "meant" to say:
-
- EXPLANATION OF MODEM SETTINGS:
- - V.32bis "on" (Mine is set to connect at highest possible speed)
- - compression "off" (no V.42bis, no MNP5 : %M0 on my modem)
- - correction "off" (no V.42, no MNP : &Q6 on my modem)
-
- > Why do you not want v.42 correction, or MNP correction?
-
- Well, I originally asked why, after moving to a V.32bis/V.42bis modem,
- I was only getting throughput of 900-1000 cps. After digesting the many
- answers I received, I tried several settings, with the following pertinent
- results:
-
- V.32bis+V.42+V.42bis ~950 cps
- V.32bis+V.42 ~1200 cps
- V.32bis ~1300 cps
-
- I don't know why, but I ran enough transfers to convince me, that for *my*
- system, I get best throughput with correction and compression both "off".
-
- Error correction *does* help, however, in logging on to my feed. Now and
- then, my logon will fail due to data errors when correction is off. I
- haven't decided yet if that costs more than losing 100cps...

- Amen! And you're welcome to what works best for you :-)
