Re: WantWEB/Linux/IP Masquerading - 56k speed?
A bit off-topic, but a few additional thoughts:
1) Achievable speed is totally dependent upon your telco's
outside plant characteristics. For example, I'm 2 1/2
miles from my local telco's switch. My ISP is about 6
miles from the same switch. I cannot get a *reliable*
connection over 28.8. Connects at 31200 and up drop after
10 to 45 minutes; *reliably*.
2) Here in Illinois (US), our local telco, Ameritech, only
*guarantees* data up to 9600 baud (which covers fax). If
you try for any faster you're on your own.
3) As I understand the current situation, not even the
manufacturers have gotten full 56k speeds consistently,
only low 50's. And this is on the test bench.
