somebody spot me on this, but-- i remember reading about modems and baud and the limits of transfer rates, and i dstinctly remember something about ethernet transfer rates being faster than the early modems....something about apple artificially limited their early modems to low rates altho they could have handled much higher.
can your machine take an ethernet card? how about using the first step in a network, but with one machine. meaning, use a 56k modem, into a hub, into an ethernet cable, into the machine by ethernet card? if I'm not confusing something, I think you might be able to get much more than 9600 by ignoring the modem port and using an ethernet card and cable, and bringing the higher baud from a 56k thru a hub to that ethernet cable. and if you get more macs later, just network em onto that hub [ or a router] with their own ethernet cards. am I thinking straight here? somebody critique me here. would this do it? janet http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
