I owe you a beer ;) At first I didn't realize that you aren't located
in Germany. I was talking with my own experience in mind, which is the
100% digital phone network in Europe. As you can get ISDN in every
(!!) lost corner around here, thus having digital lines for POTS as
well, you will always at least get 33,6kbps, which equals 4,2kb w/o
compression.
To be honest I cannot really believe you only get 1kb (this would be a
connect at *less* than 9600bps, which is what you get here when you're
surfing with your GSM mobile)!

While I really don't want to insult you, what do you consider "normal"
mail size? Don't forget 'bout the headers, too. Mail with 1k (normal
cluster size) is not what I call normal. 4-6k, even 10k seems normal
to me... Now I don't really sense the difference, I admit, as I have
at home dualchannel ISDN flat and at work a T1...
Cheers,
