Didn't mean to upset you by continuing my questioning with others. &nbsp;The first information you offered was valuable, but I thought I should seek confirmation from others. &nbsp;I've since learned that standard phone lines currently handle only 53K traffic, and that, coupled with need for some undetermined communication speed &quot;space&quot; between my serial port and the modem itself, leads me to think I should stick to a lower, 33.6K upgrade. &nbsp;What a shame--because cost-wise (having compared mail-order prices for Global Village modems only), upgrading from my 14.4K to either a 33.6K or 56K modem is almost identical on a kilobyte per dollar basis.... &nbsp;I, too, have heard of slight script incompatability between MacOT/PPP and Global Village modems, but am unaware of any major problems.... &nbsp;Again, something I'd like to hear from others on. &nbsp;Perhaps I should skip back to usenet groups' wider audience for this kind of question.<br />
