KPPP reports kbits. As you say, modem speeds are always (at least, AFAIK)
measured in kbits. So 56k is a maximum speed of 7 KBytes. After stripping
TCP/IP and HTTP (or FTP, or whatever protocol) headers, an effective
download speed of 4-5 Kbytes is veeeeery good.

Lucky you ;)

My ooooold telephone lines do not support more than 25k connection speed, so
more than half of my modem speed is wasted. I enter d/l frenzy when I get
2-2.2 Kb d/l speed :(
