- I'm afraid I don't follow your logic. When using an HST verses a V.32bis
- modem on an Amiga with Zmodem, the HST yields a faster transfer rate *all*
- the time on the order of 100 to 250 CPS better. And when using a new
- 16.8k HST, one sees over 2000 CPS to the V.32bis 1600 to 1650 CPS. And
- as far as transferring mail with my NEC, since my outgoing packet is
- on the order of 50k to the incoming 800k, well, I think you can figure
- out the math that the HST is faster in unidirectional transfer than would
- be an (currently non-existent) Amiga bi-directional mailer protocol that
- talks to FrontDoor, D'Bridge, or BinkleyTerm.
