I regularily get 720cps+ using a T1000 to connect to a XENIX box in Ohio (NCOAST). This is a terminal session, not a UUCP session. There is a *HECK* of a lot of difference!! I'm sitting back here thinking of my days at Wayne State University here in Detroit when we all lined up for access to terminals hardwired to the Merit Network. They ran at 9600 bps, required a $4000 SCP and a leased line that cost $$$/month. Now, with a T1000 (or TB+/T2500,etc) I can call the same network for 8.2c/call regardless of time online. There is distance of only 4 years between these events.
