Hmmmm. I'm getting 1350cps from my machine to my feed and 1150cps the
other way round (V32bis connection, his machine is a 386SX 16MHz running
Coherent.)
(NOTE: I have all compresion and error correction turned off, as I found
       they significantly slowed things down!)

However my feed is only getting ~650cps to/from his feed (a local University)
- it appears that the limiting factor in that case is the server at the
remote end loading down with all the other tasks it performs.

Try turning off any MNP/V42/V42bis. if that doesn't improve your
throughput, the problem is most likely at the far end.
(ie. their DTE speed, or simply not enough server power to run any faster.)
