Re: (ASCEND) Slowest K56 ever?
This is normal, these 56k modems are the most annoying
things to come down the pike in ages; people buy them
thinking they will really work and then fuss at us
because it's not a viable replacement for isdn.
You may want to point people at www.56k.com, is has
a good discusion of the issues involved and might
make people feel better about not getting 56k
connections.
