- I've never had a 33.6K connect for my USR Courier YET, but after Installing
- the 33.6K Update, I sure got a whole lot more 28.8K connects on LD calls. My
- Transfer Speeds went right up to around 3500-3600 CPS. My ISP has Crappy
- Modems, at least I think there Crappy, but I STILL get 3000 CPS over the
- Internet on a FTP Transfer. I hope my ISP Upgrades there modems to 33.6K if
- it'll be posible. I sure wish they had USR Couriers though I could have had
- that already, plus the Better LAPM Stuff to speed things up even more.
