I get about 1600+ cps at 14400 bps using ftp to a nearby site over PPP
with a bare-bones modem (sportster). With text files I've gotten numbers
in the high 2000s and maybe even 3000+. How that goes in terms of bps
I don't know, because the bits-per-byte overhead varies depending on the
V.32 packet size.
