Hi Alan,

Just to add my 0.02 worth,

Remember that a PSDN modem doesn't send and receive at the same time,

All that download traffic has to have reply packets going back up
the line saying send the next packet.

So you will never get 56Kbit download speeds with tcp.

   5.5Kbyte * 8 = 44Kbit, I'd be pretty happy with that.

Also IIRC, 56K is one direction only, the packets going back are 33K.

Which is why 64K ISDN is much better even though it only looks a tad
faster. (though ISDN's old hat now)

HTH

Pete
