One of the bbs's that I use just upgraded to the new USR Dual Standard modem
(V32.bis capable).  Finally I would get a chance to see how much faster
V32.bis is to HST.  I downloaded a number of files using Ymodem-G with 
both V32.bis and HST.  And lo and behold, HST proved to be faster.  On
a 300k zipped files I got 1727cps for HST and only 1682cps for V32.bis.

I wouldn't have been too surprised if the transfer rate were the same
since file transfers on PC bbs's using Ymodem-G have the data flowing
at the 14.4 rate in one direction (thus not taking advantage of V32.bis
ability of transferring data at 14.4 in both directions).  But why would 
it be slower?
