Well that's consistent with the speeds I get from Ice with a 14,400
modem (i.e., normally less than 600 cps). I'd just assumed it was a fact
of life - caused by the overheads inherent in receiving each header and
each piece of mail individually, rather than as a single block.

Did you get better than 600 cps with your previous modem (I'm guessing
it was a 14,400)?
