Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Pop-up keyboard.
But on DreamKey, the browser I used, it was in abcdef rather than qwerty order, which made things just that bit more tedious than they really needed to be. If there was an option to change the layout I didn't find it.

No idea how it compares to WebTV, probably much of a muchness. Dreamcast modem is only 33.6K so it was never in a great rush.

On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
New Modems 33.6K
Near me, best I can get is 33K or lower. So having one of those 56K modems doesn't help unless I get some divine intervention or the cross-talk clears up in my neighborhood and someone wires a phone line properly?

I am free now, to choose my own destiny.
New 56K
requires the phone company to be all digital, the path between your phone company and your ISP to be all digital, and finally your ISP must have a digital phone line. The ISP uses special modems to support 56K - that's why you can never get 56K if you direct connect to a friends modem. The only analog conversion allowed for 56K to work is from you to your phone company.

A single analog system between you and your ISP will cause it to drop to 33.6K standards. I cannot get 56K where I live because my phone company has older analog equipment. I'm not concerned though, I've got a cable modem :-)
