        I'm probably less than a mile from the CO.

        31.2K under windows. I have no idea how to check connection speed
under Linux. (ifconfig is not helpful; watching wvdial's log entries only
tells me that it's using V.42 (not V.90); and it sounds the same as the
handshake in windows; so i'm assuming the same speed for both OSes).

I'm also in a new development; which may have something to do with it. if
there's some local box that the signal hits before it goes to the CO;
that'll kill V.90 capability.
