	I don't know eactly how much throughput I was getting with my
Supra 2400plus, but on my //e (1MHz) with the SSC set at 9600 and using
Z-Link set at 9600, I'd lose characters when sending large amounts of
text to the screen at one time.  Same thing with the same setup on my
GS in "fast" mode (and through the modem port)  *shrug*
	File transfers work fine, wether it be floppy or RAM disk.
