I received a little information regarding high speed transfers.

Apparently no-one has had any problems with noisy lines causing the
14.4K V42bis modems to fall-back to slower rates - comments anyone?

Regarding the transfer rates for compression.  One observation made was
whether the modem was being sent data fast enough to bother with
compression.  The source/dest's are 286 using the 38400 bps transfer
rate.  I use Y-Modem G for the transfers and it records a transfer rate
of 3200 bytes/sec = 25600 bps.  Since the modem is 14.4K this would seem
to indicate compression was taking place.  But, I am still unclear as to
why sending all blanks vs "random" data should come out to be _exactly_
the same.
