I communicate between my home and work machines using a dial-up thime. I just installed a 56K modem at home. It is well known that 56K modems receiver faster than they send. Now does in make sense to put a 56K modem at work also. The modem at home can not recieve faster than the modem at work can send. So in this case a 33K modem woud seem to be suficient at work. It is hard to find anyone to comment on this anomaly. THe technical cupport person reluctingly agreed but denied the company's ststement on the data sheet for the modem (which some one else commented on) that their is a jumper that can be set for linuc use. Then he sent me a process to ready the modem for Linux which did nothing. I think I will have to be satisied with what I have but I remain confused. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
