Riding in the winter is pretty cool, the older folks shake their heads, the younger ones wave, and the kiddies just stare. Peter B cairnpath@... wrote:

It would be reporting the speed of the connection between the modem and the computer, which is not very relevent unless it is less than the connect speed between the modems.>

The 56k connect won't likely be happening in both directions through the modem. The data will come to you at 56k but you would be sending data out a much less than that. Most comms software set the computer to modem speed faster than the modem to modem connect speed to cater for the data compression-in- hardware capabilites of most modems. Mister_T
