A few reason ,
1. We are talking about a dial up line , not a full time
connection.
2. We both use icq, as well as other software which works off of different
ports. if I remember what I read. I would have to enable the ports to allow use
of these programs. The Second edition (I agree, still waiting on the third ,
but i will not go to 2000) allows traffic on these ports by defualt.
3. My wife's system tends to connect at better speeds than my machine, (She
gets 28800, i get 26400)
Do you require more??
