Hi Anil, I regularly achieve speeds in excess of 150kbits/sec (or is it K, oh well) dowloading plain text log files from my website over a "56k" modem. This is possible because most modern modems do compression which works very well on text files and bmp impages, and not very well on jpeg images

Hans and Dan: You're overlooking the fact that by definition in modern computers a byte = 8 bits so when they say 100Mb drive they mean exactly that, 100 megabytes = 800 megabits capacity. ( if you ignore the parity bit which is seldom transmitted or recorded.). . A 56K modem downloads files a

I dont think this is right. There are times when my modem says data is being transferred at 10k/s. So does that mean actual throughput is 10x8 = 80kbps from a 56kbps modem ?? Data transfer over an analog line would essentially depend on your line and the distance from CO (besides your system). Re
