 I wonder if its only me or everybody else is in the same boat. I have a 1200
baud modem and when I am downloading some long files say around 400k it makes
me wait for hours (normally 4 to 6 hrs). I have ordered another 2400 baud 
modem but still I think I still will have to wait at least a couple of hours
for a file to get downloaded. Is this weird or normal ?
 I am currently using Xmodem protocol. Does terminal program has any effect on
this. Also what to do with files that are longer than 880K. i.e they can't be
put onto one diskheema
