I can certainly sympathize. I'm in rural Oklahoma, with about six miles of copper between my modem and the CO. I just started it at bedtime and let it run. It took about three hours. One thing that helped a bunch here was when I discovered irqtune. That almost doubled my throughput, from abysmal to just painfully slow. If you don't have irqtune, check it out. I've had masquerading set up for ages but the rest of my family used to grumble when they had to go out through my box. Now they ALL want to go out through me. If I drop my link without warning, somebody always squawks. I have to poll the house before I can disconnect. -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr All things in moderation.
