CW> "Don't believe everything you read in PC Magazine" I'm curious to know what kind of files acheive this speed. It smells like protocol compression to me.. :) It's hard to discuss transfer speeds when people quote everything from .ZIP files to 100K of nulls. I try to stick with pre-compressed speed ratings, because this is what the "real world" is for me. If they really get 2500 cps out of binaries, I got a sour one, and will definately try a different one! -Steve -- }>> Steve Haehnichen <<{ shaehnichen@ucsd.edu Disclaimer: UCSD and I do not share any opinions.
