Ratings Guide

Very Good
Photographs, graphics,
and text will be of very good quality. The data transfer rate of the MODEM
(56
kbps or higher) is acceptable, although the display of photographs and large graphic
images may be slow. Text and tables will be properly displayed
without scrolling. Custom backgrounds, textures, and text colors will be displayed. A
direct hardware connection to the internet, consisting of a network board and fiber optic
cable, provides the fastest rate of data transfer.
