It can be done, and it is not data compression.  Do you know of anybody that 
has a 14400 that downloads every once in a while at amazing speeds?  I am 
sure you do because I do and very few of my friends have 14400's.  It is not 
data compression, it is some form of glitch.  By the way, the lines that go 
to my house are no longer copper, they are fiber optics

Ok, the program cannot calculate?  I DID download c&C Command & Conquer which 
is 33 Megs in and hour and a half (um, 90 minutes in case you care).  If you 
are going to say that it was not compressed it was, maximum with PKzip
Thank You
