The numbers are incorrect (we are talking phone lines here, not a stereo
system!), altho the idea is essentially correct. That still doesn't alter the
fact that Kris' original statement that switching to the Quatech drivers
(software) increased his analog connect speeds is bogus. That is STILL
impossible, and that won't change!
