Max speed by "regulation or law" is 54 K[something] Buy a 56.6 modem and you are not allowed to go beyond 54 [whatever]. Crappy law/regulation for the Telecom industry.

Thank goodness that I have cable-modem broadband download speeds of up to 10 to 15 MB/s [advertised], but most sites, and a problem with the too-cluttered broadband service node [their tech/repair guy tells me] usually gives me a 1.5 to 2.0 MB/s download speed. They advertise I can go up-to 50MB/s, but they would have 10 times the number of digital cable/phone/net users on this service area node than should be [2000 instead of 200] and there is no money to fix that. My building itself has 200+ apartments, so it/we should be a single service area node by itself/ourself, but no money to upgrade the service lines, the repair people keep telling me.

Hi all,

Here is the address for finding older versions of Java:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u21-b07-oth-JPR
This particular link takes you to Version 21. You can scroll up or down for others. To download, you need to set up an account.

Yes, but Oracle required me to create a user account [with valid email and postal address for their mailings] before they would let me download any files. near the bottom of the following page, you can download the Windows version of the JREs without needing to create the account. http://libreoffice-na.us/English/install.html

I sure do not like to give Oracle my name, address, phone, email, etc., etc., just to download a JRE. I do not know how many others would like that either.

guideline(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel).willtry

I agree totally!!!!!!! I gave the information reluctantly, but I wanted to my Base work properly, which for Linux (Ubuntu) 1.6.0_21 (and 22 for that matter) did the trick!

Hi :slight_smile:
Wow! I thought the dial-up speeds were around 40 kBytes per second i didn't
realise it was only bits! Although bytes were smaller back then when dial-up
was the main way that people used to connect. There is a great sound-file about
halfway down this page btw
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial-up_Internet_access Fairly reminiscent of the sound of
a ZX Spectrum loading something from tape.

I believe that's the audio rendition of Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) handshaking and
negotiation.

You too are confusing nomenclature. Broadband and DUN are rated at bits per second.
Thus Cable and FiOS are rated at 1.5Mb/s ~ 50Mb/s [188KB/s ~ 6.25MB/s]
Cellular broadband rates are not given, they use terminology such as 3G and 4G.
{ Actually FiOS is variably rated for symettrical and assymetrical and can go higher than
50Mb/s. It is just a matter of what you want to pay for. }
