As I live in an area with "ancient" equipment, I am stuck with dialup
at home. I have a 56K modem... and my normal connect is at 22K, never
above 28K. No, the cable company does not supply high speed in my
(small) neighborhood. So, I do my high-speed access from the airport
office... when I am not flying. :-)

1. Does anyone know what the average speed modem is being used by the 70% of
people still using dial-up?


All modems shipped today are capable of at least 33.6. Line
conditions may not allow this, but connect rates of 28k or higher are
probably the norm.
