Hi Folks...

	Stupid question of the week...maybe even the year...but it
has me curious :)

	Why do I get better speeds with zmodem using v.32bis on
a Worldblazer then uucico?

	I just compiled ecu 3.16 so that I had something to
use to download using zmodem.  I logged into the TelixBBs
last night and downloaded three files, 1 about 200k the other
just over 100k.  The cps rate it gave me at the end of
the transfer was 1600/cps.  The highest I've ever seen with
uucico on that file, even in PEP mode, has never been higher
then 1400/cps.

	Now, my understanding was that ecu 3.16 gave pretty 
accurate transfer stats...but I don't know.  I like the
rates, but am curious as to why uucico is so much slower :(

Thanks...

Marc
