Ok, let's sink this right here and now. The major source of problems with the US <-> Australia link is and has been for some time the equipment/configuration/administration at the US end of things. You can see this for yourself (from here) by pinging/tracerouting across the link; everything's fine until you're several hops _off_ the wire at the US end. For all that we cuss Telstra, they actually do a tolerably good job. Last I heard source quench was being blocked at most places around australia anyway, so the whole issue is moot. > Terry Lambert -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
