Calm down.  Take your own advice.

That's a wildly broad claim.  Try Zmodem under PEP sometime.  You get
much better than 10Kbps if it's a good line (that's 10Kbps before
compression).

Quite likely.  I would be interested in knowing how you deal with the
noise problem (just curious: no one using V.32 has actually posted
here how it works in the real world with noise).

As an aside, is it legal to use V.32 in England, Germany or France?
Some of those PTTs apparently have laws against fast modems,
reminiscent of AT&T in the bad old days.  I have need of an error-free
link to all of those countries, be it PEP, V.32 or 2400bps (with MNP).
