        Not owning a modem, not trusting the quality of the phone lines and
having several Mbytes worth of data to dump down to my amiga, prompted me to
bring my beastie in and plug it into MONET ( a proprietry terminal/printer/
mainframe network system here a Monash Uni ). All the downloading took place at
19.2Kbaud without any problems at all ( after I finally set Kermit to the
correct protocol that is 8-). I had a lot of data to get down, and also used
the amiga as a terminal for a while at 19.2Kbaud. This was on an A500 running
AD1.2 and as I said, the amiga had no problems with the speed I was using.
