yep, perfetly normal.
you want to try doing a transfer of a plain text file, and see what kinda CPS you get.  In the past, ( a long time ago... ) i remember getting ~9000 CPS on a plain text file between two USR courier's, flashed todo 33.6.  that was when v.34 was just about available.  suffiec it to say, it was using a hacked US firmware upgrade, with the country code removed.

maybe, your good thruput is becuase you have a decent modem, or just that the wind was blowing in the right diretion, helping push those bits along a little faster... ;-)
