You don't specify what program you use for file-transfer, but in the case
of uucp 675 chars/sec is pretty respectable, especially with V/AT (which
is slow in general).

I have used uucp on all sorts of lines, baud-rates and distances and
you generally get at most 2/3 of the baud-rate (except at very low speeds
when you can get more). The only way to increase speed beyond this is to
use protocol "f", but not all uucp implementations support it, and
it only gives you a 7-bit datapath.

Paul.
