- Well, considering you gave a bogus email address, it is kind of hard to
- respond to you without posting in the newsgroup.
-
- We have Bell Atlantic here, and they told us that they wouldn't guarantee
- anything over 19,200. We routinely get 24k and 26.4k connects with
- occassional 28.8k connects (very rare) and the occasional 21.6k (my cheap
- infotel clone). We use Cardinals and Multi-techs at our site, and the
- multi-techs connect with other multi-techs consistently at 26.4 and 28.8.
-
- USR Sportsters consistently cause problems, bad connects, dropped connects
- right after connect. We have had several users get rid of their sportsters
- because of this and move to Cardinals (damn good price too).
