What OT/PPP does is determined by the modem script, somewhere in modem scripts inside the extensions folder. I'd suggest looking at the script to see what to change, or download the modem script generator from apple. My teleport platinum 33.6 uses a script from global villages web site, and reports actual connection speed. If you mail me, I'll mail it to you. -- 'ric
