We're beginning to start setting up some fast modems.  Apparently
Telebit Trailblazers can go fast enough to use 115Kbps ports, when
using their proprietary encoding and compression.  This isn't a major
concern to me, but even with v.32bis and v.42bis it looks like we'll
be able to keep 57.6Kbps busy.

Our dialups are mostly connected to 96-line terminal servers, which
will shortly be using CSC3 processors.  (I have a feeling we should
have gotten CSC4's...)  We make use of most of the features of
terminal server, including X.remote, compressed SLIP, PPP (shortly),
TN3270, etc.  Obviously we don't expect to see 96 people
simultaneously doing 57.6K file transfers.  (Among other things, it
would come close to saturating the Ethernet.)  But as people start
using some of these newer features, we do expect to see more data
going through these boxes than we've had in the past.  Does anyone
(including Cisco) know what the limits of a single box are for the
normal telnet, SLIP, and X.remote?
