I have been told that the phone line quality for data transmission at that location is quite poor - such that their local data comm achieves 1200 bps at best. A site in the Netherlands gets anywhere from 491-556 bytes/sec, usually in the 530s, when getting 100,000-byte files from us. An 8K burst went at 1449 bytes/sec, but I suspect modem caching helped there and fooled the UUCP logging mechanism into an optimistic report. Trailblazers are legendary for squeezing the last bit of bandwidth juice from the worst imaginable lines. They've been reported to deliver good performance from Quito, Ecuador to Miami, Florida. They'll probably do you good across the Pond, too, perhaps limited most by the local telephone vagaries.
