Hi, Zack:
ZJ>    Select Case CRate
ZJ>      Case "300 b"
ZJ>        incr bbs(0)
ZJ>      Case "1200"
ZJ>        incr bbs(1)
        [....]
ZJ>      Case "28800"
ZJ>        incr bbs(13)
ZJ>    End Select
Right away I can tell you that using SELECT CASE will not give you the
best results as concerns speed, since the code skips over each entry in
the list until it makes a hit....  At the very least, put the most
common speeds on top, the least (300) on the bottom of the list.
Consider this code:
DEFINT A-Z
CLS
MTIMER
FOR x = 1 TO 1000
    FOR i = 1 TO 4
        SELECT CASE i
            CASE 1
            CASE 2
            CASE 3
            CASE 4
        END SELECT
    NEXT
NEXT i
PRINT MTIMER
MTIMER
FOR x = 1 TO 1000
    FOR i = 1 TO 4
        ON i GOSUB 1, 2, 3, 4
    NEXT
NEXT i
PRINT MTIMER
END
