I could swear I saw this recently... optimal settings for sz for 9600 bps+
modems.  But I can't find it now!  Argh!  Help...

What are some recommended settings for -L, -l, -w...?  With 'cat' I get
about 1700 cps (MNP5 with 9600), no errors, but zmodem poops out with
timeouts, sub-packet too longs, etc.; various tests wit -Llw get me at
best 780 cps, even on the same text.  (No zmodem compression on, either.)
With MNP off, it peaks about 1000 cps (ok, so I expect this).  With MNP
on other systems (not using sz, but zmodem) it gets more like 1100, and
I hear tales of 1650.

Hmmph.  So, any favorite choices for -Llw?
