A big thank you to everyone who responded with helpful suggestions -
Mary, Alex, Eric, Terry, Luke. I will try and do as you say.
The 450 G4 that I bought at Mac Outpost must have been one of a rare
few that didn't come with a built-in modem - something that I didn't
discover until after the fact.
In answer to one of the posts, I did check with Rogers about a cable
modem. Since I am about 100 yards away from the last Rogers
installation (across a major intersection) and since they would have
to go underground, the tech estimated the initial cost to be $25,000
to $30,000 - a bit over my budget. I know Sympatico has high speed,
but I am probably 3 miles from the switching station and would not
benefit greatly - perhaps 120K.
Just out of curiosity, my USB 56K modem usually connects at 49000
bps. The USB port has a throughput of 12Mb, but the typical download
speed is around 1500 - 1800 bps. What is causing the bottleneck?
