yeah, I think many people don't realize there are two speeds
involved:

    1) speed between your computer and your modem (115,200kbs)
    2) speed between your modem and the other modem (56k, say)

And let's not even go into the baud vs. bps thing... :)

While the brown ale he quaffed,
Loud then the champion laughed,
And as the wind-gusts waft
The sea-foam brightly,
So the loud laugh of scorn,
Out of those lips unshorn,
From the deep drinking-horn
Blew the foam lightly. --Longfellow
