Hello! I hope you can help me with a bit of a puzzle, regarding downloading. I have been using a 1200 baud modem and JRComm 1.02, with an Amiga 1000. My best download speed using Compuserve B+ protocol was around 119 CPS. Then I upgraded to a 144 V.32bis SupraFax modem. I changed to a higher speed telephone number (tried both 2400 & 9600,) and my download speed is now a blazing 119 CPS. I am able to succesfuly download at high speeds from several BBS's. However, no matter how I set my modem, the top speed (downloading) is the same at 1200 baud or 9600 baud. What am I doing wrong?? Compuserve has printed several articles on cost/speed/value, so I believe they think higher download rates are available at higher speeds. In short, HELP!!! ANY insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank-You Bob Felts, 72767,642
