Not normally. Rarely are there two simultaneous connections going. But when we do connect, we usually hit it hard for brief periods of time of 2-5 minutes on most things. Transfer of things across the net via FTP will have it tied up for about 1-2 hours from time to time, but that's about it. That's why it baffles me why when I ask for full bandwidth and I am the only one using it I only get 50% of max speed. At 02:57 PM 12/21/02 -0500, you wrote: >Dragoncrest writes: > > > Hi all.
