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!
Choppy
