If so , the max speed you can get is 115Kbps (unless you have a special high speed serial card) If you can do this repetably, I would love to know how, as I use a 512Kbps ADSL link, and would love to get ~10 times more data though it (/me dreams of files being here before I go looking ;o) Regards, Kat. ********************************************** K.A.Q.
