    Question Just curious...

    I was watching TV a few days a go and saw a commercial about Netzero "High Speed dial-up" (http://www.netzero.net) and according to them you can connect on the internet 5x faster (meaning 25kb/sec since dial-up goes 5/kb max) by simply connecting your modem to the phone jack just like a regular dial-up connection. And I was wondering if this was true because I didn't (and still don't) believe this could be possible. I think it probably just uses a lot of cacheing? Any thoughts about it?
