Paul, and anyone who cares to comment,

Several years ago I had an extra phone line installed in my home just for internet access. I recently discovered that I am unable to connect to my ISP on this line at any rate over 26,400 bps.

Using the same equipment, I can connect at 57,600 bps over the original phone line. When I called the phone company they informed me that they were obligated to provide a line that could connect at 19,200 bps, and I was "lucky you could get 26,400."

Obviously, rapid access at residential rates is not the goal of Bell South. I think the type of line they added is called a "slick ??"

Can you offer any suggestions ?

Best Trading,
X
