<<Why don't we do a survey? How many here bought a 56k modem in the
past 3 months? How many of those who bought chose x2? ... This post
is brought to you by the X2 technology. This post is brought to you
by the X2 technology.>>

I'm currently using a PC-card K-Flex in my laptop connected to AOL.
I had a PC-card X2, but last month the doorbell rang and my dog got
excited and ran right through the modem cord and ripped out the
X-jack. Ouch! PC-card modems are still expensive.

Interestly, I never got over 33,333 with the X2 and 36,000 with the
K-Flex. It has to be AOL limiting my speed somehow. My file Xfer time
is noticeably faster than with the X2, but I'm getting occasional
disconnects that I didn't get with the X2. I don't think there is ASND
equipment on the other end.
