My connection to the net from home is via a 28.8K modem to my ISP. I am very happy with the responsiveness of CVSup. As an example, I updated my local copy of the CVS tree (with about 4/5 days of changes) in 3 minutes and 46 seconds. My link is probably not as bad as some people's but I would say that that's pretty awesome. With CTM I used to get the patches four times a day and had to apply them manually. Which is not bad, but CVSup does everything automagically and I get the deltas when I want them. :) Steve
