Short of downloading a 1Mb file every hour and timing it, I don't see many other options. . . would be relatively easy to cron-job it. Naturally your speed would vary depending on where you're getting that 1Mb file from. I find with the ADSL here ( 1500/256K split ) that it stays locked on 1500K ( that's fixed as soon as the MODEM hooks into the PPPoE/ATM network ) but the actual performance of the line varies, but only due to network pressures. What sort of MODEM/Router are you using? -- Paul L Daniels http://www.pldaniels.com Linux/Unix systems Internet Development ICQ#103642862,AOL:cinflex,IRC:inflex A.B.N. 19 500 721 806 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
