Most of the time it's slower than that, but the speed is so dependant on
the capabilities at the source end (as opposed to the cable) that it's
rediculous to attempt comparisons. Try downloading a KNOPPIX distro if you want
something as slow as watching paint dry!

BTW, please don't start a new topic by replying to a previous thread; it messes
up threading for most mailers.
