Dovster...the problem wasn't the Ramada or the phone line.
It was you, once again.
I've told you time after time that you need to set your modem to 300
bits per second (bps) in those old hotels.
Instead, you apparently set the modem to 300
bits per millisecond (bpms)...a speed no computer, phone line or data network is capable of attaining. At that speed, you could have transferred the entire data of the Library of Congress in under a minute...

Having said that, great series of reports thus far! Look forward to joining you in Venice in a few days to take part in the next installment of your Odyssey.
