Hi Gary,
 GG> There's really no reason to get a 56k modem unless you

 GG> BBS, ISP, etc.
My net server paNgea is equipped and Freenet is also going the 56k route so 
the speed is there if ya have the modem. :+)
 GG> Now a upgrade to 33600 -is- worth it, and since you
 GG> don't have that, perhaps a 56k is worth the upgrade for the benefit of 
getting
 GG> the V34 (33600) connects.
Yes this was my thinking as well, I had contacted supra@sales awhile back 
asking if they still offered to send the upgarded modem (as I run a BBS and 
don't want it down) and when I got it I would send the 28800 back, they did 
this for me when I upped to the v34 from VFC, I thought this was a GREAT 
service for sysops, they even included a FEDEx form to send back the VFC, all 
I did was call FedEx and they came and picked it up  and that was that. They 
had informed  me that they would still do this, but that was awhile back and 
I'm wondering if this is still possible. And what the  cost would be to do 
this from my 28800 to the 56k? I think it was $49.95 to upgrade the data pump 
from 28800 to 33600. I guess in this case it would be a bit more involved, 
eh? :+) Ya I'm Canadian Eh! Heh heh..
Regards,
Wolf...
