Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, everyone. I'm thinking of making the leap from my old USR 144 to a new Hayes Accura 56. Assuming this is not another of these Winmodem deals (the specs from my vendor are iffy), I don't see any compatibility problems. However, can the FreeBSD PPP dialout program(s) fully exploit the new modem's speed? I checked the docs @ freebsd.org, but didn't see anything really pertaining to performance of higher-speed modems. My school will not be up to 56K anytime soon (currently at 28.8K), but I want to be able to connect with them at their maximum. Is there any reason that I shouldn't go with this modem? I'm at 2.2.1-R. Thanks for any advice you can give me! =) Jeff ______________________________________________________________________ jroberts@ashland.edu >>>> Jeff Roberts <<<< strider@acm.org Public Key = http://www.ashland.edu/~jroberts/txt/pubkey.asc Protect your privacy and freedom: http://www.libertarian.org Messages with subjects like "Hi" or "Question" will get deleted with the spam.
