Actually, when talking between two 2400 baud Practical Peripherals modems
running MNP5 with Macintosh 'StuffIt' compressed files, Ymodem-g regularly
gave me 285 cps.  Hardware handshaking in effect, TBBS system on a PC on the
far end.  I like that alot.

Of course the PP9600 is a heck of a lot MORE fun...if I could just get it to
talk LAPM reliably with a Telebit T2500...:-(
