    Only when I am on the road (and the hotel doesn't have high speed internet).

    The last time that I used a 56K modem was in 2001. From there I went to DSL, and now i've been on cable for the last 3 months. But Adelphia cable modem sucks and if it doesn't improve, i'll go back to DSL. I remember useing a 9600 and then upgrading to 14.4 to connect to Prodigy(are they still around ?) back in the late 80's.

    Yeah, I just use it on the road on my laptop. I have a comcast cable modem at home and it rocks. Some hotels I have been staying in recently have a wireless network that you can subscribe to for 5 bucks a day. After using the dial up for a while I overcame my natural cheapness and paid the 5 bucks so I could surf with less waiting around.
    You do get spoiled!
