But then Greg would probably have to upgrade from his 1200 Baud dial-up modem. :-) The strange thing is, if you turned off graphics in your browser, it should run pretty fast. ATMs ran on 2400 BPS modems and the lag was processing, not data transmission. I have spent way more time than I like to think about looking at ATM data streams. The bank loop wasn't particularly fast either and it was handling a bunch of teller stations. Banking is basically text until you start sending check images. If I am just doing this usenet stuff, it is hard to tell if I am on dial up or broadband. |

Yeah that is no host. They really don't like running that way and we tried to be on site in an hour or so, 24/7. It was usually me on coms problem because I was the 7800 guy and I had the tools. Before that it was always a fight with the phone company but eventually I had better tools than they had. I could tell them what they had going on 99% of the time and after a few incidents, they started believing me. This was all before things were TCPIP. They were running on a leased 4 wire line running SDLC. (BiSync). |

It's much more convenient and won't spread the virus. Just don't lick your monitor! Can they notarize a document on line? How about changing the people who sign on the account? I didn't go there to see if my check was deposited. (not even the same bank) |
