I don't know if anyone mentioned yet but there was a program called Mouse 
Talk that I've used on my //e before at 2400 bps and recently tried it on 
my GS at 19200 bps anbd it worked. It's a pretty good program. I've not 
downloaded anything using it except txt files but I'm sure it'd work with 
other downloads as well.
