~~~Yeah, but you have the Oregon Remote Umpquah Valley Gopher speed system that works at about 2k per minute. How would you know if the system slowed down? :) ~~~

ROFL!

I'll have you know that out here in B.F.E. I am zipping along at a connection speed of 24,000 bps today. WooHoo!

And I will only explain B.F.E. via frmail....lol. I would make myself blush and most assuredly have the explanatory post nuked.

Yes, now you have me interested re B.F.E.. So let me know via frmail. I can remember some of your comments about BFE on our Oregon is still burning threads and during our last Freepathon.

Some poor freeper posted yester that his connection moves along at about 1200 12000 bps during normal times, so Free Republic hadn't slowed down for him at all.
