Re: Internet Swansmart 56k connection

Thanks Brad,

Well, I installed Linux in the hope of learning more about my PC and
networks..  And today I learned about predictor1 compression which is new to
me..

I will check it out, and get onto Primus if this is the case..  Under Windows,
no one would be any the wiser, but us Linux people know exactly what goes on
(even if because Linux is so much more difficult to configure)
