You may negotiate higher or lower, but the true way to know what your speed is depends on whether you have an LCD window to show you that or a software equivalent. Sorry Microsoft, your initial connection window doesn't help while you're online! I get so annoyed when people say "Oh, I only get a 26400, 24600, or 21600 connection, but never 28800." I simply have to reply, "Yes, that was your initial connection, but that changes while you're online - for better or for worse." Then again, not everyone can have a SupraFax28.8 external modem with the wonderful display that flashes the current send and receive rate every 10 seconds, can they? -- Joseph Hickman Director of Network Operations josephh@psn.net / iconia@psn.net ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg08336.html">Re: (ASCEND) Zoom 1.002A code</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Jason Nealis <nealis@babylon.erols.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg08303.html">Re: (ASCEND) Zoom 1.002A code</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Jason Nealis <nealis@babylon.erols.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08321.html">(ASCEND) Re: Max 200+ and BRI hunt groups (SUMMARY)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08317.html">Re: (ASCEND) Debug mode on MAX TNT</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08303.html">Re: (ASCEND) Zoom 1.002A code</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08336.html">Re: (ASCEND) Zoom 1.002A code</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail23.html#08315"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd144.html#08315"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
