Proper traffic shaping can minimize the problems with ADSL latency. I use "The Wondershaper" http://lartc.org/wondershaper/ and it really helps. It caps the up and download speeds at slightly below the lines capacity in exchange for drastically reduced latency when up/downloading. -- E Frank Ball [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
