QUESTIONS

a.  Does anyone know where the dealer is in Cabo for Spectra (Pittsburgh) paint?  marshall@bcinternet.net  

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

a.  RE: VOIP garbling
All internet service has a fast download (that's why you can hear the other party) and lower speed upload (why they can't hear you).
From my tests and what I've gotten from other VOIP providers, you need at least 150K both directions.  Down is seldom a problem.  To measure your connection speed, go to: <http://support.vonage.com/doc/en_us/497.xml?article=497&category=46&nav=102>  or other test.  Ron – East Cape
