Apologies - I didn't notice the "also" in your original post. I had assumed the server was in a colo and so had decent upstream. The 3mb/256k connection is in his home, thus he's using the downstream (3mb) to stream the FLACs. -- radish

If they do attack this I would strongly recommend they try to have some way of storing the ssh private key in the SB. Maybe in a firmware load or something. However seeing as how little this feature would be used, I would not expect to see it high on the development list. A solution for the ori
