thank you, michael! i was afraid i was the only one to think this =
posting pretty appropriate for this list! &*)
seems like 2 or 3 times a year, we see the question raised and discussed =
about how to do this, and i am very happy to learn of a software =
solution, where only the (expensive) hardware solution was available!
cheers,
jeff

Oh, shut up!
If you want to be anal retentive about this stuff go hide in a corner
somewhere. Why on earth are you on a mailing list if not to learn about
technology and tools that can help you do your job better. This is not a
social club, ya know. We are building and running networks and to the =
best
of my knowledge this is the *FIRST* such product available anywhere. Up
until now the only way to achieve this was to buy two expensive routers
and possibly a Synchronous Modem Eliminator if the routers couldn't =
supply
clock signals.
With this bandwidth limiting technology ISP's can provide cheaper =
Internet
connectivity to customers. One scenario is to have a POP in a high-rise
building and deliver precise bandwidth over in-building Ethernet. The
other is to supply precise bandwith to colocated WWW servers. This is
*GOOD* news and I don't like to see people shooting the messenger for =
it!
