I don't know what exact access we have here, at Fannie Mae, but I routinely get transfers of 300/400 Kbps and sometimes in the 500-600 range. -Laurent. -- =========================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************* Usual disclaimers apply ************************* Godwin's Law prov.: [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.
