    That sounds reasonable to me. Most dial ups are rated at 56 (download, half
    that for uploads) these days, although slower in practice due to connection
    quality, error checking and FCC limits. If we don't go nuts with
    attachments and cause a 10 minute download time in the morning, it works for
    me.
