      Also add S109=0 to force k56flex, since it’s (like 3kbps) faster than v.90

    I would play MechWarrior 3 on campaign mode and try again in half an hour or however long it took me to die a few times.

    There was a time when I connected my nextel via USB to my computer and used it to connect to 36k internet and played runescape all day…

    Good times punching giants for big bones.
