This is the one I upload to.  Can you suggest another for testing 
purposes?

I could set connect speed slower via the terminal program.  When I dial in 
directly at 14.4K I have a more stable connection, but not a faster upload 
overall.

I don't really want to invest $40 in another modem.  Hardly anyone phones 
me any more now that there is email, so it is no big deal to tie up the 
phone line.  Most of what I download is software, already compressed.
