I don't know about "Data Communication Business Group", but my
telephone line at home is an ancient copper cable. 1.7Kps is the best
I can get for international connections (and my POP server for this
mailing list is in Germany). "Loading... at 207bps" is a familiar
sight with Netscape.
I am thinking of getting a cable modem now, they (i.e. competitors of
Taiwan Telecom) make a lot of advertising. For ADSL, too. However, I'm
waiting for someone to be first, as I don't want to invest and find
out there is no speed increase... ;-)
BTW in the office we have a LAN (I mentioned that, right) which is
connected to Hinet by an ISDN line. However, I am nowhere near the
ISDN speed I saw on my friends' computers in Germany. :-(

ask Tracer about his baud rates.... ;-)
