One thing Larry - I've found this x2 to be pretty picky connecting to my x2-capable ISP at times when it will connect reliably to my other 28.8K-only ISP. I can't really detect any audible line noise so it must be something very subtle, we have been going through some wide temperature swings lately. One would think that it would throttle down to 28.8K and connect as reliably as to the other, but this does not seem to be the case even if it does throttle down and connect at 36.3K, 33.6K or 28.8K to the x2 ISP. With new technology comes little problems, hopefully these will be ironed out to some sort of improvement over time. After about 10 tries I finally connected at 48K a few minutes ago and it's still hanging in there, but if things go as they have tonight it may totally drop offline at random - sometimes right in the middle of a file transfer. Normally one could blame the line at the other end if it works fine with a different ISP, but if I'm not mistaken I'm going digital from the local CO straight into the x2 ISP's facilities.
