Yes! I used to look after a Unix box at a solicitors offices and the branch offices had Wyse 50 terminals with a 2400 modem! Users had to enter the hayes commands to connect!

Can't get a sensible reading on either line at the moment, as the Zen line is busy chugging out a load of emails I've just splattered out, and the BT line has a 4Gb file from work over a VPN over it.

Not that I take a lot of notice of this type of speedtester anyway.

MDTM - have to tried the BT Wholesale speed tester - that will help pinpoint whether its local line or the ISP.  Though the end result won't change as I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for VM to resolve it
