capable of the higher speeds? <<
The problem is not the quality of the phone lines here. Ever since CompuServe
announced the PPP-connection, their network has been *overloaded* in a big way.
Think of all those people who can't wait to check out what all the
Internet-hype is all about. The traffic on the CIS-network has grown enormessly
these last couple of days. I hope they will upgrade their network-capacity
anytime soon now, it's becoming a real problem.
If the line-quality was the problem, you would get constant CRC-errors, or you
would get disconnected.
Just an opinion. 😉
