Yes... I kind of thought that 96KB/sec was an interesting number myself...
So I contacted the guru in charge of my uplink and he seems to think there
is a misconfiguration on his end.

Maximum bandwidth has always been a non-issue with my ISP... They have
considerably more than they use, and I'm on a leased line directly to
their downtown POP in my city, here, on a dedicated switch.  (My router,
plus two 1.5ms hops to outside network... Pretty low-latency setup..  
Barely a ms or two over their own Ethernet co-lo times).

So, I'm now in the process of getting what I paid for :-)

Thanks, Jerry (and all others who replied).  You put a little more fuel in
my fire.  (Wasn't much of a fire... I says "D--, I think I'm only getting
about 96K a second here" and he says "That's funny, Ry.. You should get a
lot more than that... I'll check into it" and I says "Thanks" :-)

Virtually yours,
- Ryan
