The DSL service was upgraded.
Now running 4 to 7 megabaud (currently slow, only about 450 kilobytes

second). Not too bad for $29.95 per month LOL.

What kind of upstream rate do you get and whose service is it?

Hello, again, Leland

My error. As you know, I had to reformat. Stupid me, one has to edit the
registry a tad to improve performance if on broadband.

I'm running about 550 kilobytes per second transfer now after adjusting
settings this morning. I'm running well over 32 kB up and 550 kB down per
second. Peak down was almost 700 kB. I'm sure my poor hard drive is
hurting performance here as I see the DSL stop for just a tiny fraction of a
second when the hard drive is being accessed. A new pc with ultra dma and
USB 2.0 (or ethernet) should improve average throughput quite a bit (not to
mention getting something a bit faster than 733 MHz LOL).

Maybe I should replace that old thing. That stupid stepper motor causes me
to have to do a low-level format every few months ))
(just kidding, but no dma on the hard drive. That hurts - or is it Hertz?)
