-> Hello Mike:
-> MF> I (made those comparisons), and the new switchboard helped
-> MF> for the most part I'll give you some stats.
->
MF> NIGHT CREATURE BEFORE:21600  AFTER:28800
MF> AWAITER BBS BEFORE:21600/24000/26400 AFTER:28800
MF> MADDOG BBS BEFORE:21600/19200 AFTER:24000
MF> AMERICA ONLINE BEFORE:24000 AFTER:28800
-> My best with AOL local no. is 26400, (if I'm able to log on!)
-> AOL'S 510-xxx-xxxx x2 # does great! No busy sig's either.
I've only recieved a busy signal twice...
MF> USROBOTICS BBS BEFORE:24000 AFTER:28800
-> USR prior to x2 was between 24000 & 26400, with x2, now 44K.
44K, how much cps does that bring?
MF> PLEASANT BBS BEFORE:28800 AFTER:26400
MF> JACK's BBS BEFORE 26400 AFTER:24000
-> Am glad to see the local performances improve, Mike.
Those were basically the only numbers that went down in speed (they are
also the closest to me).
MF> I'm using a lousy 28800 modem with a three year old rom,
MF> and am planning on getting a USR Courier.  That might help
MF> with my speeds even more.
-> Well, that's a great opener there! Yes, a Courier just might do
-> better, yet with fickle lines/connections everywhere, there are
-> still no guarantees. All I can say is, I've owned this Courier VE
-> for a long while, and it has -NEVER- upset me or let me down in
-> any way, it sits atop my midtower and never shuts off!
I'm probably going to wait a while to buy one, so I won't have to pay as
much.
-> I'm trying out an interesting ISP called ZorroNet, based in Sac. CA
-> 916-648-1283Bus; 916-648-3936Fax. Uses nothing but USR x2modems.
-> $89/yr, unlimited access; local access no. here in Fresno and else-
Remember, We get what we pay for!
