: IMHO No. The maximum you get get is 57600 on the serial port, which is a
: 14.4 modem max. speed whilst a 28.8 can handle 115200.

115200 is not realistic, that is only achieved with a 4x compression, which
can be done while transferring text, but otherwise on already compressed
data (in .zip or .arc files), the datarate will not exceed 57600.

There's no point using the modemcompression, it is best to transfer
pre-compressed files. But when getting news this isn't possible, then
again at 57600 it isn't slow either.
