test. Use your T1 connection, go to netscape, and download the latest
version which I think is 4.5. It is about 13MB. Then we will compare
download times.

Len,
Appreciate your insite. Have only a 56k modem that came w/ my system, and do
nothing internet related w/ my trading. But recently have been exposed to
some interesting rationale on trading the e-minis (not the least of which has
come over the past several days via this group). Consequently, have been
wondering about the best way to relate to the internet on a trading basis.
Now, being somewhat (my kids would say "absolutely" and "totally") old-
fashioned, i have been under the impression that T1 was the ultimate internet
connection. And furthermore, incredibly costly.
So, Len (and others), could you offer some advice on best overall setup to
trade online? For myself, i know any comments would be sincerely
appreciated.
Thank you. Bo.
