When you're in a rush, dem RFCs come down pretty quick via aarnet (with
compression) ;)

I'm just testing now with a .5Mb txt rfc with the following connection:
			     TX   / RX
	2/18 V.90    Conn    34666/31200

	rfc2801.txt:  ...   584.76 kB   10.50 kB/s

A TX speed of 34666 gives a max throughput of 4.231kB/s *ignoring* protocol
overheads. ie: compression is giving me 2x + the throughput.


Later,

Jason Nicholls
