Wait a minute ... something just occurred to me. Alex, are you on
cable, and Steve, are you on DSL, or should I say ADSL? If Alex is on
cable, and he's getting these wooping 120 KbpS speeds, and if Steve is
on ADSL, and he's getting dial-up speeds like me, then it would seem
that the upstream speed seems to be the big show stopper for Steve and
I.
