This is an important feature of Compuserve.  With QuickB and Navigator, I
often average 220 to 230+ characters per second download on a 2400 baud modem.
You can also logon, collect your mail and forum messages and logoff and then
read and reply at your leaisure.  Compuserve w/ Navigator at 2400 baud is
probably as good, if not better, deal as Genie at 1200 baud.
