- I've been seeing some requests for 57.6K and even 115.2K baud
- throughput levels for modems. These levels of performance are hard to
- understand for asynch modems, which are typically limited to 19.2K
- baud at most. Even with 3:1 data compression (merely a dream if you
- listen to most sophisticated users), that is only 57.6K baud
- throughput. What is 115.2 needed for?
-
- If there is a good response, I will summarise and post later.

- P.S. There is a selfish motive for this. Our products do 57.6K, and
- we can provide faster if necessary.
