Hello Wayne - 

CA>> Getting 33.6K isn't all that bad really. I use a 33.6K
CA>> modem on my W31 setup here and it's quite useable even for
CA>> rather large downloads since there are two lines here and
CA>> I'm not tied up waiting on it to finish. :-) 

WC> Hey I'm happy with it compared to it being just a dead 56k
WC> modem. I still however am targeting getting a hardware 56k
WC> as I miss those 50,666 connections. 

As we will use all available memory regardless of it's size and
all available hard drive space regardless of it's size so will
we use all available bandwidth given the opportunity to do so.
:-) 

CA>> Typical informational browsing is just reading screens
CA>> after they finally decide to stop loading (sloppy
CA>> webmasters with too many graphics). I use OPERA on my W31
CA>> and can turn off graphics loading with just a 'click' at
CA>> the bottom of the screen. ;-) 

WC> I notice the difference at 33,600 but I got used to the
WC> higher connects for the few weeks that both my Win 98
WC> system was up and prior to Verizon abandoning the KFLEX
WC> protocols. Worst I used to get was the occassional 48k.
WC> Just greedy I Guess  

Turn off loading of graphics and you will be very close to what
you had with 56k.
