To send an e-mail over say 100KB took abt. 10 times dailing in... I asked questions about this to the list in the past.
Bought a new modem, a cheaper one (TRUST), and just run a test. A 500KB e-mail was uploaded in one run and in 3 min 15 seconds. Download e-mail 650KB in 2:53 :-)))) How many modems could have been bought from the telephone costs over about 4 years ??? How much frustration :-((( So if you have troubles like this buy a new modem ! I did blame the bad lines in the country and maybe they have something to do with the complaints. Measured the outgoing signal strenght: old modem 120 milli-volts AC new modem 160 milli-volts AC CU, Bastiaan
