sorry for not being precise enough. i should have written "indirectly" a
little different ;-) sure this won't limit effective bandwidth but as we
all know most long haul connects are stuffed and - yes yes yes
principles of operations - it _will_ reduce bw consumption a bit.
DISCLAIMER:
i want to point out that this is definately not a known-good solution,
but - heck - it works most of the time *grin*
this is done by trained professionals - kids, don't try this at home.
