RE: [TCLUG:3624] A new subscriber...
I use Xisp and it works great for my connection. I do have a general
question though. I have my modem set for 115200 and it claims to
connect at that speed, however, my download is anywhere between 3k/sec
and 9k/sec. I thought it was impossible to transmit at speeds over 56k
due to limitations within the phone lines??? Does anyone know what the
formula for converting k/sec into an actual baud speed?
Thanks
Brian
