Barbara, Can you please check and explicit your transfer rate figures? No analog phone line of the kind used by such modems yields more than 56 k i.e. 56,000 (approx) bits per second! Even that is a theoretical unrealistic limit rarely approached. I use ADSL at home. My last test of an analog modem against my university which is 3 km from home only yielded 40600 bits per second.
