Re: re:that nasty little attachment

If you let me know what equipment and software you have I could probably
tell you how you can get a faster connection to the net. For example If you
have a 14,400 bps modem you could connect to the net at 56,600 bps just by
utilizing built in properties of your hardware. If you have a 28,800 bps
(bits per second) modem you could be connecting to the net at 115,200 bps.
