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. -- Steve
