I've got a Sun 3/60 connected to a Courier HST Dual Standard modem with
hardware flow control that I use for UUCP stuff (mail,news,etc..).  Anyway,
even though my machine talks to its host at 14400 baud, I get a whopping
thoughput of about 230 cps!!!  Thats about the same speed I would get out of
my old 2400 baud modem!  I've spoken with someone else that I work with and
he's got a Sparc that shows the SAME symptoms using the SAME modem..!  Are
the Couriers and the UUCP protocol allergic to each other or what??!?  I'd
like to think that the reason that I bought the high speed modem was for high
speed usage...  Is there are cure for this??
