Indirect has a 28.8k line?  Is it available in Tucson I wonder?
I only have one line and the modems that I get there seem to 
be mostly limited to 14.4k.  ID support did help me find a 
problem in my system so that I can occasionally log on to 
a modem that operates at higher speeds.  I was getting 
a lot of disconnects and found out that my Windows system.ini
file was loading in a weird comm driver.  They directed me 
to download CyberDrv from their system and I haven't had 
any problems since.
