Yes, Dilbert rocks, but the soapbox rant didn't have an awful lot in 
common with what I mentioned. I *know* an upload will affect the IP 
conversation. What I said was the up channel was, at one point, running 
at a speed that could be measured in characters per MINUTE, so much so 
that the test program reported ZERO bps.
Oh, and the test program is smart. It won't work if there is something 
else "on the line", else you could fire off a big download then moan the 
transfer rate is naff.

But anyway, yes, Dilbert's good.


Best wishes,

Rick.

     Either you guys aren't charging enough, or you are being too nice
     and not saying "isn't our product, sod off". You could always offer
     to sell a technical support service for ?50/incident...
