Thanks for the laughs! From my location and proximity to the telco, I should be getting double the DSL speeds I currently receive. But I never complain. I may be dense on a lot of topics, but when my phone lines are thirty years old, run 200 feet from the MPOE to my apartment wall, and then twenty feet from an ancient 4-prong jack to a modern jack, and then another ten feet to my computer, I figure I'm getting awesome speeds! If I wasn't so lazy and knew what I was doing, I'd replace that old 4-prong and eliminate ten feet of line. -- David Johnson ___________________ http://www.usermode.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
