"Steveo" wrote in message ... Remember these taps? http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ocktits1yp.jpg LOL, sure do Mopar! Gawd, been a bit of a mess. Due to a new job paying almost 4 times what I was making, I am without a paycheck for a few weeks. Due to the rising cost of gas, I held back on paying the phone bill until I was certain of enough funding for gas, food, etc. Well, I had sufficient funds including a party (beer, whisky, vodka, etc) - but sent the check in last week. The phone company was not amused and cut my DSL off until they were certain the check cleared (never bounced a check to the phone company). Sigh. No DSL for a week. From the 17th until yesterday. Sorry for the delay, but just saw your note. The DSL service was upgraded. Now running 4 to 7 megabaud (currently slow, only about 450 kilobytes per second). Not too bad for $29.95 per month LOL. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim |

Regards, Leland C. Scott KC8LDO Right now it is running slow. My ADSL is running (at this point) only 3275 down and 318 up. The upload does not go too much faster than it currently is, but the download rate varies considerable. I did get over 7000 one day and it is usually over 4000. I do believe that my hard drive speed is hurting the performance as it can only transfer about 1.5 MB per second. Also, I am running the ADSL through USB 1.1 which means the transfer rate is becoming substantial for that old port. Yesterday, I was running about 450 KB per second as I downloaded Adobe and Yahoo Messenger (I am still installing programs after a gasp reformat necessitated by an ill-performing program. All is well, I'm just getting programs re-installed ;) I am subscribed to Frontiernet. There is currently a lot of competition between Roadrunner and Frontier. Both are offering bundled telephone, Internet, and television (Frontier has partnered with Dish network). One can end up with everything for under $100.00 per month :)) Best regards from Rochester, NY Jim |

Regards, Leland C. Scott KC8LDO 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?) Best regards from Rochester, NY Jim |

What did you do, adjust the MTU setting? Yep ;) 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've had around the same using a cable modem with Comcast. They have about the same down stream rate as your DSL line and their up stream rate is around 700 to 800 Kbps, thats K bits per second. I upgraded from around 380 Kbps up stream, the normal rate for standard service, since I like to run the Linux grapical desktop remotely when I'm out on the road. Most of the mid price level hotels have free high speed Internet access in the rooms. I suspect that after this price war between cable and DSL, there will likely be 3 levels for the consumer to choose from. I suspect they will offer the 360 kbps down and 128 up for the $29.95 rate, the old 3000 kbps down and 360 or so up for $39.95 and likely offer the upgraded service as 6,000 or 7,000 kbps down and an upgraded speed for uploads such as you have mentioned. I haven't heard anything, this is just a guess on my part. I'm sure my poor hard drive is hurting performance I've got a Microcenter computer store down the street from me and I picked up a couple of new Western Digital PATA 120 GB dives for around $40 each after all of the rebates some months back. They're perfect for upgrading older machines on the cheap as long as the old bios can handle the larger drive. Linux has it's own drivers for PATA drives, it doesn't use the bios, so as long as you can get the machine to boot and install the OS it doesn't matter if the full capacity is supported in the bios or not. Windows it a different story. True enough, Leland, but this old compooter is an e-tower 733i and e-machines are not particularly known for their robust and overspeced power supplies. I don't think I'd care to try packing a good, big, hard drive in this thing as the power supply just might run a little short on electrons. Regards, Leland C. Scott KC8LDO 73 from Rochester, NY Jim |
