They connect at a nominal 19200 baud, and the actual transfer rate is 18000 baud down in 100 baud increments until they find a set of frequencies they can live with. This is before any compression is applied to the connection. The only places I've found that faze Trailblazers are London, England and some Sprint long-distance connections. peter@taronga.uucp.ferranti.com
