I was recomeending Earthlink service and using their modem driver as
giving excellent dialup connection speed.. I cannot quote your email
without your permission as you know. However you seem to challenge my

So as I said before; " Come on Dean , what's the beef ? "
Assume I don't know anything about modem speed spell it out for me.
