What xfer protocol are you using?  It makes a difference.  zmodem
will generally give speeds around the 1650 bps figure you mention.
Ymodem/G is slightly faster; I think this is because it is designed
for error correcting modems and it sends less status information.
I can routinely get 1720 cps with ymodem/G, and the registered version
of JRcomm 1.0.
