So what are you saying: there is still hope for COMS???? BTW, your LU vs. INTC explanation didn't sit well on the Dell thread when I said it resembled DELL vs CPQ. -Eddie

>>I usually connect at 44k-49k in the day but at nights I see the connect speed of 115200. I thought that the Serial IO max limit was 57k. 115200 is your UART serial port speed - the leg between the modem and your PC. That is a true bit rate. The 44k-49kbs is the typical x2/V.90 speeds - that is the connection between your modem and the ISP. You can actually get more bits through that connection via compression, up to 115.2kbs, which is why you need to have the serial port speed set higher than the modem connect speed. There is no particular reason you should have better connect speeds at night, except possibly the effects of noisy lines at the varying times.

hitesh, >> I find the confidence analysts have in ADSL or cable modems being readily available in such a manner very hard to share, especially in the short-intermediate term<< for once I totally agree with you >>Mainstream product will still be 56k analog modem as its the best deal out there which is standardised, simple to install, easy on the wallet (I pay $9.95/month to Web America for unlimited usage) and just enough speed for what most people need it for.<< I agree completely here also. >>TI already has started shipping their ADSL chipsets so rest assured 3Com has the ADSL modem ready to go but it has to wait for the opportune time to push it. I am still betting on a 56k/ADSL modem combo to show up from our favourite dog. Its one of the bones he had hidden and will be digging it up.<< I have to agree with your logic. Hey, are you a bull coming out of the closet? (it's ok, nothing to be ashamed about :-) ) joe
