Well, I just did a download : sounds.tar.gz: 468325 bytes received in 292.34 seconds, 1.56 K/s. keymaster.ncd.com:/pub/ncd/technology/src/nas With gzipped files I don't get much more thruput . Now with ascii data, I just did a quick download from a nearby system: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for gxe64pro.asm (131.415.15.192 (102669 bytes). 226 Transfer complete. 102669 bytes received in 27 seconds (3.6 Kbytes/s) My modem is a Zyxel U1496-E and it can do voice,data, or fax :) For kicks, one nite I wrote a tiny scheme wrapper for vgetty it basically answer the phone , playback an announcement and sat there waiting for a message to be recorded. The modem after 10 seconds or so of silence it would hang up. Enjoy, Amancio
