Can you telnet to the dsl router itself? I have a Cisco 675 which allows one to use commands like 'stat' and 'show' to display the line rates/line quality of the system. Interestingly, I have the opposite "problem." I am supposed to get 256 down and 275 up but I get 384 down and 275 up according to the router's stats. (The router is set to auto train, so you can't accuse me of theft-of-service, although I haven't exactly complained.) -J On Fri, 2 Jun 2000, BWS - Offwhite wrote: > Is there any way I can do an accurate test to determine the speed of my > dsl line using FreeBSD? > > I am currently leasing a dsl line and feed my home network through a > FreeBSD box (3.4S) running natd and ipfw.
