Since you asked, and it makes a difference whether you are getting X2 or 56flex. Depends on your ISP support.

I have an X2 via pipeline/mindspring and there is a great difference between screen presentations 50.6kb (my best connect speed with my phone line) vs 28.8 or 33 (I have one of those in my laptop) The SI screens are prime for compression because of the mostly text nature, so they really pop-up. Large graphic based kludges with dozens of gif files come up faster, but the delta isn't as great.

You also should borrow one and test out you phone line. The connection into the local exchange might preclude anything over 28.8 for your line..... USR has a test number that will let you know your line capabilities, but you need a modem at your end. Then it's a matter of what your ISP is set up for.

Hope that helps.
