Mentors, our local telephone company, Siskiyou Telephone-sisqtel.net, is installing optic cable to the house. I assume this means digital service. My 56k modem runs at the very best 48000, rarely. Usually it runs at 45xxx or 46xxx. Will the modem run closer to the 56k with the digital hook-up? I haven't had time to try the results of my .mvw inquiry. I'm working on thhe old homestead so we can sell it and get closer to civilization. 75 miles to nearest hospital, 110 miles to a hospital that can do heart caths, etc. When I get a chance, I'll need more help on filding the dlls.

I might *degrade* your modem connection. Around here when SBC runs fiber closer to one of their RTs (remote terminals) they pump everything through a compression mux which makes the voice sound great, but it won't carry data. Modem rates drop to 24.6kbps maximum.
Surely if they're running fiber to your house they'll offer some kind of Internet better than dial-up.
