I knew somebody would ask...
It's kinda 'stupid', we have got ISDN (64k up/down digital line) at home,
but when we bought the computer we bought it with a 14k4 modem (analog). At
the moment we installed the ISDN line(s), we were thinking about buy a new
PC soon. So that's why we/I haven't bought a faster modem...
(plus we need to wire another line [ISDN this time] to the 2nd floor, where
the PC is)
