 It depends on who I call, on a particular bbs, (on some but not all of his
lines) I get downloads that slow down, and then give errors, (if it doesn't
drop out).
 Yet on others, the cps rates go like the clappers, as one would expect.

 486SX/33 with a 16550 & MyWankFast v34 modem.  But this has been happening
for ages now, not just on this system, but on my old one as well, a different
machine altogether, with a different modem as well.
 Different bloody software come to think of it too.
