It makes no difference what platform you're on, it is all the other variables
which make the
difference: your modem, your modem's configuration, your software and its
configuration, the load
on the mainframe, and the amount of noise in the lines, not to mention the data
you are
transferring. Like I said, I get a minimum transfer rate of about 13,000 bps,
which works out to
1,625 cps. The fastest I have ever gone is about 27,500 bps, or 3,437.5 cps. I
am using a mac with
a 14.4 modem. I have only gotten zmodem to work a couple of times, and both
times, I achieved about
21,000 bps or 2,625 cps.
