 WAIT, is your cpu intel?? If so ok get it you should get 33.6
throughput, ( don't know about the IE drop though, mine works
perfectly***see below)

If you have AMD or CYRIX , LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!!! The software is
optimised for intels FPU unit, the other processors have something yto
do with integers, I d'ont know exactly what but its means
SLOOOOOOOOOW,the potential 56k support is not yet known and will have
a lot to do with the quality of your phone line. There is due to be a
driver update for other cpus but its not expected for a few months,

**note when I say no probs all the software works but I'm using an AMD
k75 and my connection is always @ 21600.
