Replacement motherboard by
@drian
Are replacement motherboards, say, from Intel, usually ones that have been
repaired from other customers or are they brand new? I contacted Intel
regarding a faulty motherboard I have and they told me when they get my
board, they'll send another one out within two business days.

Dialup Modem Question by
Carl R
Hi there,
Can a dialup 56K modem be responsible for ultra-slow upload/download
problems?
I believe it's a WinModem
My Dept. IS guys says no, it's because of telnet limits of 28-20kps.
Thanks
