I swear I don't mean to be difficult, but I'm not one of the 4 people
in the world using Windoze CE and I couldn't care less how well it

Yeah, but WHAT? 600 and 100? My question was- it don't seem to matter 
WHAT you set it to. So WHAT should you set it to? I know all about
Cisco's brain-damaged 10-second thingie and could care less- like most 
of the list, we have MAINLY dialup>consumer>genericmodem issues here.

that, just to clear the air.

SO. What do we set LQM to? or does NOBODY know?
