No, no. I was not picking a fight, just pointing out that "local loop" speed is not equal to "available speed", for various values of "local". My "speed" to the NIC is ~1G, from the card to the switch is ~100M, and to www.akadns.yahoo.com is under 2M. I object[1] to data centres saying, "We will give you a 100M uplink". I object[1] to Tape drive manufacturers saying "40GB (compressed)". -- Sanjeev [1] I object to many things, as you will have realised by now. Funny how people become busy when I walk into a room. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
