well, 64kbps doesn't really 'blow away' 56kbps (unless you're uploading),

In the states, it's still much cheaper to go with 56k analog.

If you're installing TurboLinux or Red Hat, it isn't.  I'm not sure if
Slackware and Debian have NFS/FTP installation options or not, it's been a
long time since I installed either one.
