But now that I know it was just 1.54 Mbps, I can't quite ... collate? I get 15 Mbps downstream on a bad day (pays to make friends with the cable guy), but it seems pretty kludgy compared to that T1. And I have complete command of all the processes running on my PC ... I doubt it can be tweaked much tighter. Still, 1.54 Mbps is 30 times faster than 56 Kbps on dialup, which worked reasonably well back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. :drinks: R.[/QUOTE]
