And the end-to-end modems should have negotiated compression (usually LAPM
here), which will cut the transmission time for uncompressed material by about
half, and raise the receiving rate as delivered to your machine for V90 from
about 5 Kb/sec to 11Kb/sec  or more.    But only as as long as your UART for
the modem is set for at least 115200 baud.
