It helps to have a fast computer and a good Internet provider. But more than anything else, you need patience - loads of patience. Even the "fast" 33.6 kilobits per second (Kbps) modems (now the standard) trigger finger - drumming frustration as you wait and wait and wait some more while a file downloads at top crawl speed. For the past year, modem makers have been promising to take the creep out of the Internet with their proposed higher speed 56 Kbps models. They claim the new devices will cut waiting time in half. Well, their claims have partly come true. While you cant get a full 56 Kbps throughput (the speed at which the data flow), you can get pretty close - but then only in some geographic locations and only when data flow in one direction : to you from the Internet, not to the Internet from you. In the sending mode - to the Internet from you - 56 Kbps modems revert to the slower 33.6 Kbps top speed. But since most users download data (take data off the Internet) instead of upload, this is not a serious handicap for them ; for others, of course, the 56 Kbps modem is only about half as good as its promoters claim. Why give so much attention to what appears to be a highly technical, esoteric subject ? Because its clear that electronic commerce is the wave of the future for business and accountants, and, like it or not, CPA s are expected to understand it, use it and advise their clients and employers on the subject.
