Since it runs in the background (and Win95 multitasking isn't so great), it will report all kinds of "slow downs" as you do stuff in the foreground. It will also misreport all kinds of connection problems. For example, if you disconnect the ethernet, it wil tell you the DNS server and gateway routers are down. But of course they aren't, the connection itself is down, but net.quack can't tell the difference! Plus, if you do a big download at the same moment that net.medic is "testing", it determine that all kinds of things are "slow". If you want to test DNS response time, use "dig" under unix. It gives you the DNS server response times in ms. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out what units net.quack uses. Tom
