              If this is a V32 modem I doubt that this is the real
              bps effective out the modem. Most likely it's the 
              throughput of the modem measured with compression done
              on the data. Just think if your sending compressed data
              to the modem already. If you really want to spec a modem
              modem fairly state:
              cps/sec uncompressed data
              cps/sec compressed data.

   This is kind of interesting. Did this come of a PC-Board type bbs?
