-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I sure wish that god-awful reply to field could be fixed on the list! Most of the time I have to overtype the to field with my aliased speakup entry to get rid of it. For Cable speeds, I now can enjoy an average of around 350 KB per second while downloading from ftp.kernel.org. I used to only get at most, half or a third as much until I replaced my hub and 486 based router with a new router which has four switched ports on it. My uploads have consistantly been around 30 KBPS no matter what; pretty steady. I don't like the port blocking that Cox does but I can get around quite a few of them by using non-standard ports; they mainly block web (80) and SMTP (25). I think they bock FTP and telnet but I don't do telnet at all and SSH works fine but since I use a router, I split off my SSH to several different machines by using other ports. I also use a non standard port to access my web server privately. All and all, it works and is the only high speed internet option available to me in my neighborhood. I could have stayed with Sprint Broadband but I think Cox is faster now then they were and certainly my upload speeds are better. Too bad I can't afford a T1 line <sigh>. - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://ld.net/?holmesgrown -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA7DQ5WSjv55S0LfERApT0AJ9vpbKViXbyRmnyUxdG7/qAfEDYZQCeOABb bWUtElrYzr5OEf4gQ1+wLzQ= =/gbw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
