Business Winstone runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time the computer takes to complete those activities to produce its performance scores.
NEC Versa UltraLite 10.3
Acer Travelmate 739 TLV 20.9
In this set of benchmarks that run day to day business applications in a timed fashion, the NEC UltraLite comes in only slightly above that of the base machine used as the reference point for the benchmarks themselves.
It may have a hard time selling to the intended audience if it is only half as fast at what the typical business user needs a computer for.
I've got the same deal with PacBell (384k-1.5M/128k). I got the same letter regarding the change in ISP, but I think it was a regulatory-induced change in accounting not anything meaningful. I have consistently gotten a good download speed from them, limited only by the sites I visit. For example, I just downloaded my Norton Anti-virus updates at the usual 128kBps (1024kbps). And only one five minute outage in 10 months.
I like my DSL. But don't get me started on PacBell's email servers!

I get the batteries at Radio Shack. They're a standard item.
My Panasonic KX-TCS970-B is 900MHz with DSS. It was bought back in the 90's. A new battery every couple years and it keeps going strong.
I've had very little interference since Ricochet shut down - damn antenna was right across the street.
