Thanks anyway, for the good will. Just for grins I started the download of the first install CD from Red Hat. The time estimate fluctuated between 40 and 50 hours as the connection settled down to 1.7-2.0 k/sec. I get about half the rated speed of this 56 K modem because the phone line runs about 20 miles to the switch. I would bet my chances of winning the lottery are greater than getting the whole image here without being disconnected. 2-3MB is about the practical limit for file downloads out here. Perhaps in a few years DSL will get all the way out from Folsom. We're even too far back from the paved road to get cable!
