Does anyone have experience with v.32bis and dialup appletalk?  We'd like to
establish a temporary remote connection and wonder what sorts of throughputs
have been achieved, taking protocol overhead and the like into consideration. 
We are contemplating a pair of Prometheus Ultima V.32bis and Shiva Dial-In
extension.

Any particular initialization strings that have proved better than others? 
Hardware or software flow control?

We did some tests with a mere V.32/V.42bis that gave about 1350 CPS on
Hypercard stacks (kind of a mix of binary and ascii).  Is there hope for
improvement?
