Sometimes I get a bum line and it connects at a lesser speed, but not often. I probably get in at 56K 95% of the time. This also used to work with an older USR x2 modem (before they upgraded it to V.90 for free). Disclaimer: I do live in Atlanta (Mindspring's host city), and in a fairly new subdivision out in the "burbs" (Alpharetta). How about the rest of you? Most of the time? Sometimes? Hardly ever? Starting to wonder why you laid out extra $$$ for 56K? Are you using v.90? x2? k56flex? -----Original Message----- From: rick hamell To: Quintin Oliver Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Monday, January 11, 1999 2:42 PM Subject: Re: Connect speed on FreeBSD. > >> We run a local ISP powered by FreeBSD 2.2.8 and 3.0, our users connect to >> FreeBSD on 2.2.8 on modem dial.
