Here are mine: iMac Rev B w/ internal 56k modem ISP: Supposedly Earthlink dialup Test Time & Place: 6:13 PM PST - California USA Test Results: Raw Speed: 23455.98 Communications: 23.5 k/sec Storage: 2.9 k/sec Est. 1 Meg download: 6 min Your ISP: TheGrid This shows that even though I am supposedly an EarthLink customer, they are in fact using a DIFFERENT network to provide connections to me. Additionally, ARA says that I'm connected at 28800 but according to this test, I'm not. So which one is right? Dennis -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
