Picky, picky. :-p What, you never heard of hyperbole? ;-)
(and actually, it's really 53,000 max....not 56,000....and it's probably
not really xx,000 either but I don't recall what the actual last three
digits are. Not to mention that you may not even get 53,000.....I never
did. Not even close. Maybe 45,000 or so. But now I use an ADSL
connection at 640 kps, or 266+ times faster than 2400 baud anyway, so
there... <grin>)
