Seriously, how may of the 28.8 modem users get connections at 28.8? Twenty percent? Fifty percent? Today's modems are already faster than most analog lines can support. More likely than not, a 56k modem won't link up at 56k. If you want speed, use the clean solution. Get ISDN.

[And don't buy the Motorola BitSurfer PRO. It won't work with two line phones. The sound is so bad, you can't use the POTS you pull out for business. Motorola: "We are aware of the problem". Well, they have been aware of it since at least February.]

Interesting. . . Oh well, I bet their competition doesn't mind.

But for data, home ISDN is the way to go.

Of course, we'll be getting the cable modems around here by early next year, so I might just wait for that 15MB/s. . . # Chris Adams <adamsc@io-online.com> | http://www.io-online.com/adamsc/adamsc.htp # cadams@acucobol.com | V.M.
