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. ---Bob > --- > ~ EZ-Reader 1.20 ~ > > * QNet 1.03a3: CanConfMail: .
