Actually, the Telebit Trailblazer's modulation technique allows it to transmit at about 18000 bps on a relatively clean line. With protocol and error control overhead, plus occasionally turning around the line for ACKS (the modem is really half-duplex) the actual throughput in one direction is about 14000 bps, provided there is no traffic in the reverse direction. I have personally seen throughput of above 1300 characters per second of approximately-random data (compress output) with the modem's compression algorithm turned off. And the limiting factor was that my poor 780 was spending 100% of its time pushing characters around; the modem was probably capable of more.
