Of course, I don't know your wife, but around here DSL filters reduce interference. It's phones that don't have those traps on them that buzz.

If I remember correctly, if anything was really at 56, there could be be some splatter between carrier channels from CO to CO or some such reason that the tariff only says 53. But I know your pain. Out here I can only sustain between 33 to 38 on a large download but the CO is miles and miles away. And, no broadband because I can't afford sat. dish Internet and there is no cable. It's really inconvenient for upgrades and takes three days to download an ISO for a live CD but I think you are familiar with that, eh? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
