I've been surprised to get 13 KB/s and more over a single (64 kB/s) ISDN channel. (The ISDN implementation is terrible though, after a system upgrade, i've got 4 kernel cores in a row and finally pulled the plug. :-( ) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
