[  Dear Mr. Lineeater.  There are lots of excess lines of verbiage coming out
of Congress.  I suggest that you move to Washington, D.C. in order to have
easy access to this almost unlimited source of fodder.  Of course, you will
probably get a major case of indigestion, but...]

Hello,
       someday soon, I would like to upgrade my modem to 9600 or faster.  (I
am using my A2000 as a USENET node.  Even with a very limited newsfeed, 2400
baud can be painfully slow sometimes.)  I have heard various contradictory
statements about how fast the built-in serial port can be usefully run.  I do
require multitasking to be useable, however.  (Some slowdown is acceptable, of
course.)  Since the software is, of course, critical, I will list the main
programs of interest.  These are uucico, uuPC, and (maybe) OnLine v2.1.  What
is the fastest speed that you have run these programs (under the above
conditions?)  Any comments?


                            Thanks,
