I was getting an update rate of up to 18KB/sec over a modem connection. That's faster than anything I have ever gotten before to my knowledge. And it was a consistent speed. I'm not sure about the 28.8 connection. But you can certainly use CVSup successfully. Start it just before you go to bed and when you wake up it should be complete. It's also been said that some of the newer mirror cvsup sites, such as cvsup7.freebsd.org, are faster than some of the older, lower numbered ones. I was using cvsup8, actually, so I can recommend it. -- R Joseph Wright I was getting out of a...I believe I was getting out of something. Bill Callahan.
