        A typical "average" transfer rate is about one-tenth of the
modem's rating.  That is, a 33.6Kbps (thousand bits per second) modem
should be able to handle a transfer rate of about 3.36KB/sec (thousand
bytes per second).  I usually connect to my ISP at 26.4Kbps and get
transfer rates of around 2.4KB/sec on most transfers.


        How does one find out what the transfer rate actually is?  In
the example above you say that you get a transfer rate of around
2.4KB/sec.  How did you find out this rate?
