I just recently started running a DOS-Waffle v1.65 recently and am having
the same problem, sometimes even worse like 600-800cps.  To give a summary,
I am using a FOSSIL (bnu188b) locked at 19.2k and a Viva14.4k modem.  I am
connecting to the service at a carrier of 14.4k and also Lap-M/v.42BIS
detection and usage.  On other systems I usually achieve normally
1600-1900cps on compressed file transfer at the same connection result, so
don't tell me it's the lack of FIFOs.  My 1st guess was to blame the 'g'
protocol which my UU program uses, which appears to be based on the old
Kermit protocol which in my opinion is the slowest protocal ever designed.
Are there any other protocal options besides 'g' avaible for DOS-Waffle?
I haven't looked into it yet, but I think Kermit can tweeked a bit to
provide better results.  Is anyone familiar with this?
