Download a pre-compressed file from your ISP, and email me the results. I'll post them on the site next week. I have a 486-66 Vesa local bus machine with Win 95 and 16 meg of Ram. The install went perfectly. The modem connects at 49333 where before the upgrade I connected at 31200.
Performance is very good.
I'm using an USRobotics Sportster 56k on a Mac and get a 53.3 connection each time. Haven't checked download rates carefully, but I've seen some high short term rates and certainly faster than the 14.4 I had before. Initially, the problem was with a 33.6 modem, then an x2 modem. Electronic Engineering Times looks at the various K56flex chips being used, and raises the question of whether K56flex is a unified protocol, or a bunch of chips with the same name. But cheer up, gang.
