Just a warning I have been trying to use ET's products since a year and a half. I must say they are all CRAP! Simply there is no technical support for them... Mr. Denis Baah even called me and my colegue "fag", when we were trying to convince him, that his drivers are misbihaving. Even he called Alan Cox - "stupid"... For the Bandwidth Manager - it's quick and ugly hack like thing. sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I have never had any consecutive equal results. And it makes a rock solid FreeBSD box very unstable indeed. I strongly suggets you NOT to buy their products. I would suggets you use dummynet, or ALTQ - Alternative Queing for FreeBSD. They all work like charm... PS: As from your message I think CBQ - a queing discipline from the ALTQ package is the way to go. -- Best Regards, Stefan Stefanov Orbitel Ltd.
