I was poking around in ppp and typed show modem.  I pasted the output of
that to the bottom of my message.

Now maybe I've just been up to long and my brain is fried, but I could swear
that says I got 12.8KB/sec about 30 minutes ago, and that I'm currently
getting 10KB/sec.

Am I loosing it?  Is my connection THAT GOOD?  or is there something flawed
in ppp?  I am connected via a 56k modem, btw.

Just for the record I am not downloading any text file.  I am dl'ing
seti@home for win and for bsd and a windows program I care not to mention.
