here on nstar we have one dual standard (without v.42bis) and another one
on order (should be here later this week - but this one will have v.42bis).

The V.32 throughput with uucp sessions runs right around 1150 cps, and around
800 cps when connected to another v.32 without mnp.  

HST to HST uucp runs at 350 cps (using "g" protocol) while zmodem transfers
of compressed and/or binary data runs around 1750 cps (pure text runs around
2600 cps).

The Telebits runs around 1350 cps using uucp "g" protocol, and right at
1350 cps using zmodem.  

The Telebit modems will hold the line better than the dual standard -
