Dennis, I consistently get at 28.8 connection to Oxford. I have a Global Village v.90 on a Mac, and I get the 28.8 connection more often than not. I've hit 31.2 a few times, and sometimes revert to 26.4. Overall, 28.8 is my usual connection. I know my phone line limits me from connecting at a speed greater than 31.2. There's a ton of interference and noise on lines in Oxford. that might cause your problem. Unfortunately, not much we can do about it. Chris Herrmann MCIS Help Desk Rep. [log in to unmask]
