- FWIW I regularly maintain 31.2 connections with a Sportster 33.6
- modem. 33.6s are pretty rare, but I have seen them, and the speed stayed
- up there (actuallon the rare occasions when I have seen 33.6 connections,
- the connect rate usualy starts at 31.2 and then falls-forward shortly into
- the connection).

- You do of course know that beta testers don't write the code, or
- fix the code. All they do is test it and report the bugs. Whether or not
- these bugs are fixed is up to the engineers and others such people, not
- the beta testers.
