There is something even newer in testing now, something like a 3Meg line, which is 'out of control'! My problem is that I really live far enough 'out' that the really high speed stuff is cost prohibitive! Sounds like San Diego has got one heluva system! (Am I turning 'green'? Maybe a little!)

Additionally, I was talking to a another consultant in the local CompUSA the other day (75 miles away), and he said that MSFT was not going to support the current (EIDE,COM port) configuration past W98. Rumor is that the push will be to the SCSI (probably wide) and place the serial stuff on that port since it will achieve a 12M transfer rate! That will probably be the next step! I wonder why the disk mfg's haven't gone to multi-platter reading to increase that through-put. Seems like an easy way to double and triple the transfer rate! You heard it here first!
