I'm using an internal 56K modem (I think it is a Rockwell Chipset) I
know it's not a winmodem because I have used it with linux. plain old
telephone line.
I typically get a connect speed of 48000 or better but I was trying to
ftp pkgsrc-current.tar.gz and the through put never got up to 1 K  and
was estimated that it would take 19 hours to finish.

I guess maybe I should have backedup my linux ppp setup.
