Umm, hate to burst your bubble, but Mac Modem Magic is a placebo (best face on it, a fraud at worst). You're not *really* going to get 41K out of a 33.6 modem barring extremely specific circumstances: namely just the right kind of text file uploading that allows the sort of comression you get. Normal data isn't going to come close to that. Mostly, however, the only thing modem magic does is change the speed your modem reports to Remote Access. With ten minutes and bbedit, I could make your modem connect at 115K if I wanted to, at least according to your connection script. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
