I have worked with both thin net and thick net (vampire taps :). When the T-W technician hooked up the current Internet cable modem and I plugged in my Thinkpad, I was pleasantly surprised to see it announce 1Gbps. Haven't seen that before. The other side was 100Mbps at first, apparently a mis-configuration. After a few months it dropped down to the 50Mbps I was paying for.
We've come a long way from the first modem I bought, 1200 bps. Never owned a 300bps acoutic modem though I've used a few at work.
I occasionally see 10 Gb at work. My first modem was a 300B manual modem. I got that thanks to the Adventure game. One day my wife was visiting my office and I showed her Adventure on a VAX. She asked if we could play it on my computer (an IMSAI 8080). I said no, but if we had a modem, she could dial into the VAX. I was soon the proud owner of that 300B modem. :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
