Tsuwm - I wonder if it faster than my ADSL line which is pretty zippy (currently running at 256,000 Kbps transmit and 576,000 kbps receive, although bandwidth shows even higher) - the only limiting factor seems to be the speed of my typos (oops!) I don't think that anything similar is available her yet, it would be very useful as ADSL and ISDN depend on some formula based on distance from the telephone exchange.

Sometimes one forgets how privileged one is. My puter runs off an E10 connection from work (slightly faster than the US T10 equivalent). With all this speed and connectivity I seldom ponder that most of the forum members are connecting via home modems and are, thus, at the mercy of their ISPs. Bandwidth has never been a problem for me.
