I've been connecting with an iBook recently- it's the marmalade colour, latest version, sys 9.0.4, using Remote Access. I'm using the Apple Internal modem. Connections to both Red and Purple are consistently 46k or 45k. Not too bad (although a Courier on the self-same line gets 52k). So much for the Ascend NASs. Trying Green gets me 33600; clearly, the Apple Internal won't talk to the 3Com NASs at V90 and falls back to V34+. The Courier gets 54k in this case. Apart from the obvious conclusion (don't give up the Courier); is anybody else here using the Apple Internal modem to call Green, and what speeds are you getting? Presumably iMacs should behave the same way- they use the same modem. So do they? I always use Red anyway, as from here it's the most consistently reliable ROMP with the fastest data throughput, so this isn't a crucial question. But I am curious... Calling from 020 8255 xxxx, Telewest. -- Peter
