Very strange.  English text should be much more compressible, on the
whole, than a SPARC binary, so it should flow across the line at a
speed much closer to the limiting DTE rate.  My test data was five
concatenated copies of /usr/dict/words, being the most convenient and
easily-replicated source of lots of text.

   Incidentally, when I'm uploading to work from home, I often see the
   CTS (and thusly SD) LEDs go off.  Should data be being held back
   this frequently?

Yes.  And that's a good sign in some ways: it means that the
compressor in your modem is filling up your carrier to its capacity.
On the other hand, your interactive latency is now maximally bad,
because your modems' buffers are as full as they can get.

   Bob, could I possilbly get a copy of your WorldBlazer configuration
   so that I can see what we're doing differently?

Here are some excerpts from our example Dialers file:

#
# Set up a Telebit WorldBlazer by giving it the following command:
#
#    at&f9 s0=1 s7=120 s48=1 s51=6 s58=2 s59=15 s61=0 s63=1 s92=1 tq2x12&c1&d3&s1&w
#
WORLDBLAZER	ABORT NO\sCARRIER ABORT NO\sDIALTONE ABORT BUSY \
	ABORT RRING\r\n\r\nRRING\r\n\r\nRRING ABORT ERROR \
	TIMEOUT 5 "" AT OK-AT-OK ATS111=0DT\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT
#
# You should use the WorldBlazer in PEP mode only if the telephone
# lines are unable of sustaining a V.32bis carrier connection.
#
WORLDBLAZER-PEP	ABORT NO\sCARRIER ABORT NO\sDIALTONE ABORT BUSY \
	ABORT RRING\r\n\r\nRRING\r\n\r\nRRING ABORT ERROR \
	TIMEOUT 5 "" AT OK-AT-OK ATS111=0S50=255DT\T TIMEOUT 90 CONNECT

and here's what it looks like when it's done:

S183=25  S190=1   S191=7   S253=10  S254=255 S255=255
OK

Hope this helps...
