Of course we first have to agree on what 3 k/sec means but this does
not sound like Ethernet which is more like 10,000 K. I think regular
dialup is 56K, in the US.
Perhaps you should recheck your figures and report back.
K of course can mean different things in different countries, I guess.
I ran across a similar problem where M used by contractors to stand for
1000 instead of 1,000,000 as others might use it. Rather embarresed
when I asked why we should take out a $50,000,000 insurance policy on a
$50,000 job...
