Having just recently acquired an USR Courier HST Dual Standard, I am anxious
to compare notes with other ST users who favor the USR high speed modems,
especially in the area of throughput.

I am currently getting about ~1625 cps in HST mode.  Protocal used is Zmodem
and I have the comm port locked to 19200 with TURBOCTS installed.  The USR
manual says that I should be getting 1740 cps while in HST mode.  So where
is the missing ~100 cps?

Also, is there terminal software out there which supports Ymodem-G?  I
noticed that on uploads, my throughput drops way down to ~600 cps.  So I
want to see if using Ymodem-G instead of Zmodem will kick that cps rating up
a little bit.

Please mail any replies.  Thanks.
