Sorry, you lost me somewhere.
This an XP group, not win95/98.
I just asked why a few posters are supplying 'bit' instead of 'byte' nos.,
for whenever you download something like an app., the download is usually
rated at real-time K-byte speed; - where you got Mb from, I have no idea.
Modems are rated on the box as K-bit speeds, not K-byte, as it sounds faster
& is just a selling point.
