yep, a file of null characters maybe. Uncompressed data may give you fair
results but most large things are precompressed now days. JPEGs, zips,
gzips, binhex's and what not. I've never (ever) seen the results that are
printed on the outside of a modem box. I watch averages here to and they
generally seem to be the stated value (connect speed) plus about .4-.8k
with a good tail wind.

I'd be interested in seing a ppp connection pumping 115200 on a 33.6k
modem.

Maybe I just live in the land of cruddy phone lines.
