Marriage secured, at least until the next outage. Actually, by a fluke the internet went off where I am in Italy tonight for about 10 minutes. How I hate that red light on the modem. Makes me think again that I should have a backup system, maybe tethering a mobile phone. There is a competition in Ireland - maybe everywhere in the world - between ISPs to see who can lie best about internet speed. I suspect my ISP may be using their new modem, so called e-Fibre, at the limit of their functionality. Apropos of nothing, I recall being told by a Telecom engineer when modem speeds increased from 300bps to 1200 bps that it had been proved "scientifically" that this was the fastest speed copper wire could support. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
