I used to try the all night download routine, but invariably there would be a disconnect during the night - usually after the download had been going on for about and hour - and it was all for naught. So I got my local phone company to come out and give me a clear line, presumably without any "noise" that would cause a disconnect. They did, but same result. I then bought software that would supposedly improve modem performance, and overcome the disconnect problem. That didn't work either.
So here I am with cable. A bit more expensive, but far less frustrating. Zippy -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
