Joe,

You better call your local telephone company because if they have your
service being provisioned via a Slick 96 (SLC96) Concentrator you will NOT
achieve any connections higher than a 33.6.  I am speaking from experience.
Bell has my service being provided in that manner and the only way to
achieve the higher rate is to fork out the $ for ISDN, which I am not
willing to do.

The SLC96 is the most common problem for not being able to connect at speeds
in excees of +33.6 kbps and are it is the result of the local telephone
companies not upgrading their facilities to enable higher bandwidth
connections.  This is done to cheaply serve faster growing developments /
communities with digital switches that allow custom calling features.

Hope this helps.

Craig
