> Thanks everyone for your responses.  I looked at qwest's website and got
interested in upgrading my service.  I am on their old service with 640k
down & 272k up speeds.  They offer 1.5M down for $28 if I use a 3rd party
isp.  If I can get a decent isp for $12 I am at the same price as my present
service. I called them and actually got someone with some decent answers.
My old modem runs CAP protocol and "probably can't do 1.5M"  He said the
1.5M service runs DMT protocol.

modem,the  678 does CAP or DMT.  My need for a CAP modem will disappear if I
can figure out a decent isp.  If I can't find an isp then your offer becomes
a better deal.  I'd take one off your hands temporarily if you are willing
so I could get my linux set up, then maybe we could agree on a price if I
end up needing it more permanently.
