- We get 3.1 kb/sec on text, and 2.1-2.3kb/sec on binary ftp transfers

- I am using the stock Dell 2.2 SLIP -- how do I enabled the VJ header
- compression -- and who's PPP are you running under Dell 2.2?

-
- The USR v.32bis modems come in right at 200ms for the default 56 byte messages
-
- The Telebit WB/3000 modems are known to be slower in this area (so reported
- by multiple users in this and other newsgroups).

-
- I also connect into a netblazer with another USR v.32bis modem
-

-
- What would you suggest for the TCP window for a v.32bis configuration?
