bigbob, neat sites. I just tested the speed of my connection... 2.7 Mbytes/second (peak) and it took 3.1 seconds to download a 1 Mb file (continuous). Not too shabby considering that it is through an old Apple Airport connected to a cable network. Wise.

Wise, I cannot take credit for the connection speed link. It was posted by melliska for PN.But while I am posting if anyone goes to www.driverguide.com the login is: drivers and the password is all.
