Assuming you're using a 14400 modem and we're talking about 
downloading news, this is normal-ish. By which I mean that that's what 
I get most of the time due to zillions of resent packets from the news 
cluster. About twice a month I manage to get a connection at the rate 
I used to get regularly before Demon changed to the new news system 
(900-1100 cps). *slightly acid smile*

With a Falcon you may get better results using one of the faster 
serial ports if you aren't already doing so. Sorry I can't help with 
the HSMODEM settings for it: someone else around here is sure to know.

HTH
