Nope. Bog standard internal Lucent on Com3

It's set in Control Panel to a max of 115k2, but generally I'd
see it at 30-40. I think I'll have to get an opinion from my ISP

Well, that's my point. If there is something going on, how could
I capitalise on it ? Mostly I'm happy with the good ole phone
line but now and then a little more speed would be just ducky
