Actually, what's interesting to end users is CPS. Remember, it's 10 bits per character between the computer and the modem, and 8 bits per character between the modems. Oh, and compression has to factor into it as well. Just say it's a 28,000 bps 5670 cps peak modem. -- You summoned forth an Ancient Evil and you don't know what to do with it?
