   Hmmm, delete the stop bit every 8th character and you have a 1.3% 
throughput improvement... hardly seems worth the hassle.

   I suppose that the receiver modem should be able to tell if the stop bit 
is omitted, since a space will appear when a mark was expected... doing this 
every character would result in an 11.1% throughput improvement (about half 
of that achieved with MNP3&4 or LAP-M), for a maximum 2400 bps throughput of 
267 CPS!
