so, it seems its more of a modem connection problem then a network protocol/performance problem..Do you have a shell or ftp access to a machine on your isp's network? its a good test to try to d/l something off the isp's network..i bet the admins there would be willing to throw something up on anonymous ftp for you to get for testing. bam >AT&V bam >ACTIVE PROFILE: bam >B0 E1 L2 M1 N1 Q0 T V1 W2 X4 Y0 &C1 &D2 &G0 &J0 &K3 &Q5 &R1 &S1 &T4 &X0 &Y0 bam >S00:000 S01:000 S02:043 S03:013 S04:010 S05:008 S06:004 S07:030 S08:004 S09:006 bam >S10:018 S11:095 S12:050 S18:000 S25:005 S26:001 S36:007 S37:000 S38:000 S44:000 bam >S46:138 S48:007 S95:000 bam > bam >Anything look wrong here?
