-> Huh?  28k8 or 33k6 gets you 3100-3500 cps.  You don't consider a
-> more than *100%* speed increase as "much"?
->
-> Keep in mind that the single jump from 14k4 to 28k8 is a bigger
-> speed-jump than upgrading all the modems you've ever bought in your
-> life: 300->1200->2400->9600
-> *COMBINED*!
->
-> But yet people upgraded/replaced those.  Why would you do those and
-> then *NOT* buy the biggest speed increase of all time????  (And go
-> around telling everyone else that it's "NOT a heck of a lot faster".)
->
-> I paid $350 for my old 300bps modem.
-> I paid $550 for my old 14k4 modem.
-> Isn't 28k8 worth the current price?
-> (They sell for as little as $99 these days.)
->
-> Lowest cost in history.  Fastest speed increase.
-> (Please check the facts.)
I'm happy for you because I don't know many people that have gotten such
good results out of their 28.8 modem.
