I think you should really upgrade to 300 baud, got a 300 cradle here somewhere. Also have a few 1200 cards and several 10,000 cards. Who knows, might be worth something someday

Had dial-up for years.

Been on DSL for last 2 years.

NO comparison.

Dial-up bites.............
I feel sorry for those who can't chose a better connection method .
