- Agreed with Anthony! I too have a Winmodem and more often than not, I'll
- connect to my ISP at 26400. Seldom do I connect at 28800, but I have
- perhaps 20% of the time. Sadly to say, I feel that this discussion will
- be moot in a couple of years when ISDN and Cable modems will all leave the
- 28.8 crowd in the molasses! For now, enjoy what you can!!!
