						      Right, on, John!
						      300 baud is for
						      losers who can't
						      afford good equi-
						      pment. However,     
						      I must admit it *is*
						      difficult to get the
						      phone to go at 9600
						      unless you pay extra
						      for the conditioned
						      line. The most you can
						      expect from a home
						      system is 1200 baud,
						      but even that's 4 times
						      the thoughput. I get so
						      sick of these 300 baud
						      weenies complaining
						      about about a nothing
						      problem that it makes
						      me want to puke. Do they
						      want the whole G*d*mn
						      world to slow down so
						      they can catch up, or
						      what? Just sign me:

May they ROT in the kingdom of Hades, those who seek to turn back the
calendar of Hi-Tech and revert to slower transmission speeds. 

55 MPH SUX!!
