Hi Earl,
I also had same problem... I bought a new 3com v.90 56k
modem and got home installed it and bamm... sucker
wouldn't run over 28k... 9 times out of 10 it has nothing
to do with your ISP, modem or PC... It's your phone line.
I found out that most homes that are 20+ years old have
copper phone lines running through them. If you tell
the phone company that you have line noise or something
have them come out and test the line. By law, the phone
companies only have to secure your line up to 9600bps
anything over that consider a bonus. I told the phone
company this was unacceptable, they said: Go suck a
lemon, if you want speed, buy an ISDN line (115,000bps)
These phone companies know that sooner or later we are
all going to want faster bandwidth and once again, unless
you have a cable modem we are at the mercy of the
phone company.
**I'd better shut up, I see folks around here are getting sick
of non-TradeStation or Easy Language issues, I can't
blame them, sometimes I wonder what this BB is for **
Best, Matt
