I just read my message and thought I'd clarify something.
By testing my Duo 2300 with Localtalk, Ethernet (Minidocked and
DuoDocked) and a modem, I came to the conclusion that my expectations were
askew from what the Duo could deliver. There was no significat speed
increase from Localtalk->Ethernet->files on local hard disk, although all
of these tested faster, objectively and subjectively, to a modem. That is
to say, I ran into an upper limit of PageLoadSpeed pretty quickly and
could not expect Ethernet to improve my state.
Perhaps you've hit the upper limit of what a modem can deliver and
an extra 35 bps in modem tuning won't help SUBJECTIVELY speaking.
