Kim:

I've done Esignal (50 symbol limit) over 33K modem, no
problem. However, should should be aware Esignal
"filters" their data. For example, if you needed to
chart with TS 60 min bars of 30 year interest rate on
bonds from CBOE, you would show a lot of missing bars
because Esignal only sends out data if there is a
change . . .  this drove me nuts trying to chart $TYX
against SPZ1 when I needed consistent bars as my
analysis depended on average of so many bars.

When I conferred with CBOE they emailed me tick data
showing transmits like every 15 seconds. As we all
know no software program can build bars unless the
data is there . . .

When I confronted Esignal about this they started
giving lame excuses - they would not reveal how many
other symbols they were altering . . .

I dumped them like a hot potato . . .
