I wonder if its only me or everybody else is in the same boat. I have a 1200 baud modem and when I am downloading some long file say 400k, it makes me wait for hours(normally 4 to 6 hrs). I have ordered another 2400 baud modem but I think I still will have to wait for couple of hours for the file to get downloaded. Is this weird or normal ? I am currently using Xmodem protocol. Do the terminal programs effect ? Also what to do with files that are larger than 880K. i.e : The files that can't be directed to an 880K floppy drive. (I don't have a hard drive. Uhhh..) Any help will be appreciated. Hell alot of thanks in advance. Cheema
