Dang, I need one too. Got a spare lying around there? Someone gave me a
link to a "streaming" video rendered animation (really great "Bunny..."
thing forgot its full name already) that looked like what bandwidth
would be in graph form. I could tell intermittently how good it must be
but that only adds to the frustration. I will definately look into this
connection speed of mine further. I should have about 50K, I know one
other computer with a 50K connection, parents friends. I don't know of
too many people with computers, much less a v.90 or 56K modem, and
certainly no ISDN, etc. So that's all I have to go on.
