   I download on a 56K modem. The mail takes a small amount of time to 
download, [EMAIL PROTECTED] & all. One month, my family downloaded 3.2G (total 
traffic), 
which must be approaching the theoretical limit. Connected almost full time, 
sitting behind a IPCop f/w. 
  Lucky city-ites with cable & ADSL. All country options to 56K are too 
expensive, including ISDN, which currently has a 30c/hr connect fee, which I 
think is discrimination cf ADSL.
