As far as the modem recieving at a faster rate than 56Kbps would allow- 56Kbps is the physical recieving speed of that modem, and does not take into account compression that is happening inside the senders modem, and the decompression that is occuring in your modem. Your computer will see more data throughput for uncompressed files(txt, for example) than for compressed files(zip, tgz etc) because both modems compress data w/o user intervention.. -Adam Davis adavis@baladyne.com Brandon Lockhart wrote: > I have mentioned this to Brian, be he seems to busy to make a patch.
