| 152340 | 2003-06-13 09:28:00 | If my 56K modem logs on at 31k, does this mean that it will remain at 31 or will it adjust during transmission? Pragmatic Win Modem. Performance is very erratic on ME & XP on two ISP's. I have considered a USB Modem. Any comments? |

USB modems are basicly winmodems. serial externals are hardware modem and tend to handle poor lines better than winmodems. |

| 152342 | 2003-06-13 11:09:00 | My Lucent winmodem occasionally logs on at 31K but mostly 46K on paradise.net. Try downloading a known file of say 500 or 600K and see how long it takes at different times. I don't know if any hidden compresion can occur with some downloads but if you download the same file each time you might get a better idea of how your performance varies. The download rate would depend on the server too and how busy it was I guess but you might find one that doesn't slow the download down at all. Graeme |
