Maybe my memory isn't so great but I thought that's what they said about previous hurdles (9600).

I believe that for US phones, 9600 is about at the baud limit. However, and not to be to pedantic, baud is not the correct term. Modems operate at a certain BPS (bits/sec.), which is not the same as baud. This is due to compression that allows a higher bitrate than baud rate. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
