Interesting side note: When I first picked up an ISP, I made a habit of 
setting port speed to 57600 to "speed things up".  After a month or so, I 
started getting regular error messages to the effect that Navigator couldn't 
negotiate a common protocol between my computer & the ISP.
On their advice, I dropped down to 38400 and I've never had that problem 
again.  And my thruput is just as good...
