Er, no - try reading the email properly first - I was talking about exactly the same
things as Liam was: both bps and cps. You managed to exclude from your quoting of my
quoting of Liam's original post (!) the bit where he talked about getting a connection
speed of 52000bps.
In any event, it's just not true to say "totally different" - they're clearly directly
related.
