Theoretically... 14400 (bit/sec) / 8 = 1800 (byte/sec)

Ask Mishka Kondratiev. I remember how he bragged about his one kilo CPS :)

With best wishes, John.

Have you counted the start/stop bits? This is if without MNP/V42. If with MNP/V42, then
protocol costs are added - ks, for example, and this already depends on the size
of the V42 window.

Well, plus the costs of the protocol itself.
