1.38 Kbytes/sec isn't very good, you need at least double that for decent transmission speeds. about 2.8 to 3.5 is considered good at best, on really good quality phones lines a little better can be expected. Just depends on how good the modem is, or where you live, that is, the farther you live away from a big city (depending on the phone company) the less quality in transmission. The closer you are the better. --Patrick Black On Mon, 31 Aug 1998 22:58:59 -0400 Winston Pike <[log in to unmask]> writes: >From some of the responses to other posts on this this I decided to >download >a file with WS-FTP >and get a speed check on my modem.
