Hi Jeff,
I don't know if you can force Linux to show you a true connect
speed or not, but if you are curious you can look in the modem
logs. 26.4 to 28.8 is a very normal connect speed with a 33.6 using
an ISP that is not digital. Even with digital you won't see much
difference maybe a bump

I was going to buy the K63-450 in February. The tech told me AMD didn't
support the K3 because the tri-level cache was flaky and undependable IF I

the fact I don't know anything about a cache, I bought a K62-500 instead.
