What does "bps" mean in this table?  Initially, I thought it meant "bits-per-
second" and I was couldn't believe that it was that bad.  But it occurs to me
that it might be "bytes-per-second," in which case that's 1,000 bits-per-second
via an asynchronous modem, which is \very/ respectible as an average.

Oh, and if "num" is the number of calls, 2500 calls per day is amazing.....
That's something like two calls per minute -- and these were statistics for
Sunday, which I presume to be a light day.
