 And Yes, I can see that you don't even know what a "Courier" is.

 No, To ALL THREE OF YOU.



 FC> Please read the quotes again.



Why should I, YOU didn't read mine.



OK, then, Here is the complete message including YOUR quote....

My answer was to YOUR part of the message, (the bit you so

thoughtfully left out this time) just as it also applied to the

other 2 participants.

 Because you modem connected at 28800 and immediately trained down to

 26400.

 SK>> Hello Ray

 SK>> You might be connected at 28800 but the modem you are talking to may

 SK>> be only 26400 bps. You are only as fast as your slowest link.

 SK>> Cheers...Steve



 FC>      If your connected at 28800 then your connected at 28800, I dont know

 FC>      what terminal your using but mine tells me what rate I connect at,



THIS is what I was answering, and I believe that it is yours.



I said that IF YOU 3 owned Courier modems instead of your Glue and Go

Clones, YOU WOULD ALL BE ABLE TO SEE FIRST HAND, EXACTLY WHAT YOUR

MODEMS WERE DOING WHEN THEY CONNECTED, WITH THEIR LINE PROBING

DIAGNOSTICS. INSTEAD OF RELYING ON JUST A CONNECT 28800 MESSAGE.



Just because it says connect 28800 doesn't mean that it is still 28800

half a second later.

                                 

 Read what I wrote above, again



If the 3 of you owned USR Courier V.Everything modems you could see

that your link rate may connect at a certain figure, but has many ways

of changing speeds all the time

(fall forward/fall backward, retrain, speedshift)

99% of the time a USR will conncet at a cetain rate and if you do a

line probe 1 second later, you see that it has trained up one notch.
