Yeah, right... captured at an onsite in the not-too-distant past... http://lonewolf.iinet.net.au/56k.gif It's all down to phone line quality, modem quality, distance from the exchange, exchange quality, exchange congestion, temperature, humidity, sunspot activity, stellar configurations... and just about anything else you can think of. But saying that lines aren't capable of more than 44K is bullshit. It's about all that most people can manage, if that, but there are plenty getting more at plenty of ISPs. Except Telstra, it'd seem. :) yt MJL00
