It's cps - Characters Per Second.  A 56K modem running at
its theoretical maximum of 56x1024 bps - Bits Per Second -
should be able to deliver 56x1024/10 = 5734 cps, assuming
1 start bit, 8 bit data, 1 stop bit, and no compression.
Bps is not the same as 'baud', which strictly is transitions
per second.  In the old days, a 300baud modem was 300bps,
since each transition was 1 bit.  Nowadays, the modems
encode 4 bits or more for each transition.
