How can your lines handle only 28.8? You mean you local dial-up server right? The phone standard is 56k. You can only get up to 53k due to regulations on it though.

Oh brother you should 'try' living in rural Texas and just see what phone service is like. Sucks is too nice a word. Our phone company does not even gaurantee a digital capable line. Voice only. I'm lucky enough to get some digital capacity. I can occaisionally get up to 8k or so transfer rates. But that only holds so long as the local population does not exceed the number of lines we now have. When that happens they start doubling them up with carrier setups (whatever that is) and we will get no dial up ability at all. I'm forty whole miles from austin.
