I wish Kay a happy and healthy new year and thank you for being a godsend to the Macintosh community. Saved me a 3 hour drive round trip at least. Glad to see at least some people got the better price at other store locations. I was getting 44k consistently before the update. My connections were typically 44K and stable with Free PPP before the modem update.
Connections are slightly faster now.
Again, I haven't seen updates to Free PPP in a while. OS8.5 broke the Free PPP control strip and now the latest GV updater seems to break Free PPP itself. Let me explain. Everyday I see lost productivity at work with the myriad PC's in use. Before I ever used a Mac I thought that this is just the way PC's worked.
