Using iMac rev A, ARA, dialling from 0161 723 (Manchester).
I used to use Green until I got HH/ISDN because it always reported
faster initial connect speeds than Red or Purple. Green prefers scripted
login so I now use Red with HH.
Just tried Green with the internal modem and ARA reported connected at
49333. This is using the ISDN TA pots port. I used to get around 46k to
Green and 42K to Red before HH was installed.
