    Well, When and IF I Get my upgraded Sportster from USR,
    Ive Ive only been waiting sence Jan.... I will have to
    switch to a ISP that supports X2 anyway...
    And as I am the Nec for net 216 I will find out what
    Kind of File transfer speeds the Local Internet can
    handle...  I will be tickled Pink if I get some
    50k transfers.. as it is now some times it drops
    below 10k with a 28k8 connect...
    I really dont expect it to do much better ...
    with a X2 connect..
