Both modems would be 56k max. The Airport would be 100mbs (or 10mbs for older ones) for ethernet. Either speed would be MUCH faster than the data rate possible through either modem. The server part of the Airport would spend most of its time waiting for data from the modem. Ken -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
