Termonolgy time! LEC = Local Exchange Carrier (aka The Phone Company) CLEC = Competitive LEC (the new kid on the block) ILEC = Incumbant LEC (the old fart, or ma bell's love child) LEC CO = LEC Central Office, that's where your phone lines actually go. From there on out they are switched in a big ol network. The COs are usually owned by the ILEC and parts are rented out to the CLECs. And yeah, 80ms is sucky for gaming. -- Hexis www.hxxl.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
