   Hardly yours, more likely USRobotics'.  The asymmetrical design of the HST 
was intended to allow one to type at a host over the low-speed channel (I 
scan at 2400 bps or higher - especially when VT100 codes are injected - but 
can't type as fast as 300 bps) and/or to send ACK packets back to the host 
without interrupting the stream of data.

   Given that design criteria, it's damned silly that the HST can't carry 
UUCP-g at all well.  You're right that 350 CPS is ridiculous for a 9600 bps 
modem.

The mile is traversed not by a single leap, but by a procession of coherent 
steps; those who insist on making the trip in a single element will be failing 
long after you and I have discovered new worlds.        - me
