The newer Courier HST's can transfer data at 14.4 kbps - without fancy MNP compression. Transmitting ASCII files with MNP compression turned on you can get up to 2300 cps throughput (this is not from hearsay - I have seen these numbers every day under real-world conditions). That's why you can set the HST to 38.4 kBaud. But there's a drawback: You must have drivers and hardware that can stand receiving data at 2500 cps and that can do real hardware handshake (RTS/CTS), and finally a protocol that doesn't overflow the reverse channel which runs at 450 bps. Zmodem, for example, will work fine. Christian -- Christian Kaiser cmk@chiuur.UUCP +49 89 4391852 cmk@sinix.UUCP +49 89 6362873

I am using a Miracom Courier HST DS, which is the UK version of the US Robotics product. I am moving to Australia next year and I wondered if anyone knew whether this modem would work correctly there. I know that this modem is different from the US one as I tried a US one and it recognised the UK ringing tone as a busy tone. Alternatively does anyone know if US Robotics have a subsiduary in Australia, and does anyone have a contact address/phone number?
