  Can you expand on that? From stats I keep I see an improvement in
performance using spoofing, so I'm not sure exactly how this "myth"
influences my numbers. My reading of the Telebit info leads me to
believe that the acks are locally generated, never sent between modems,
and that parts of the headers are compressed, fiddled, and/or stripped
such that they reduce the bits going over the wire.

  I willing to believe that Telebit might state something not true, or
that I might misread their description, but I find it hard to believe
that would confuse my scripts which read the data and tell me what's
happening for transfer rates.

    I admit that when I was in school I wrote COBOL. But I didn't compile.
