No, way more like 700cps.  Most V.32 modems don't do spoofing like the telebit
modems.  The speed will drop the longer the distance due to the lag time for
the ACKs going back over the phone curcit, it may get close to 1100 cps on
NON-Compressed news between two machines talking locally but never anywere
close on a long distance connect.  I'm connecting with a USR HST in V.32
mode with V.42bis and am seeing about 650cps.  The 68000 in the machine I'm
running UUCP on has no trouble keeping up.

Still don't matter, if it doesn't do spoofing the data is going to get across
and it will have to wait for the ACKs to come back.
