That makes sense that a 33.6k modem couldn't handle 230,400 baud serial
connection since that's almost 100k above the fastest data compression rate
it would be able to pull through the remote modem, so there's no reason it
would be capable of communicating that fast with the computer either.

Hence, one of my original questions. :-)
I should mention, too, that while Genesis wouldn't function at higher than
115,200 (as I've so far been able to determine), my actual throughput seems
to be much lower than 115,200 (or 33.6k for already compressed files). In
fact, even for files which are already compressed, I'm not getting close to
the raw modem speed of 33.6k. :-( I'm getting around 11,000bps on http:
transfers from my timings, and YAM also reports transfer rates right around
11,000. It's possible it's faster at times. I've been having problems
with certain pieces of software interfering with my browser (Aweb3.4SE), or
for all I know it's Genesis itself which is receiving interference. YAM
does this, and I've now noticed so does AMPlifier. What happens, is the
transfers through Aweb just stop and it just sits there for most of the
time, then it will continue, then another looooong delay, etc. I've been
able to determine it was YAM causing it, for instance, because when I exit
YAM, a few seconds later it doesn't continue with the delays (very much
anyhow). The same happens with Miami. I don't know if it's just because
YAM and AMPlifier use a lot of processor time (even when idle), or if it's
because the task priority is too high on them, or what it may be. So it's
possible this may be related to my unexpectedly low throughput rate in some
way.
Regards
