Hi! My english is not very good. I apologize if my expression "cool tool" was out of place. Next time I will say "a good tool used in the apropiate way ". The reaction remind me when I was at the university in classes and a teacher didn't like my forms or expression. I could wait that from my teacher. So... it's ok. It's part of the game... I'm not a very large network administrator. I just maintain a small network at a research institute where we make some scientific computation (I'm working in my PhD so being a system manager of a 40-machine-cluster is not my primary activity, all I learn was reading some rfc and linux-docs and searching the web and the mailing lists... ). I don't have all the tools needed to test " my private network" so when I heard about this soft "bing" I was happy. Not big deal. I could make almost the same measure of speed moving a big file between to machines with ftp.... but that's ugly. And I couldn't search for problems in this small network with that. For my needs ( I thinks that Alan use it in the same way) it's a good tool that I didn't know. Certainly when I have some problems to connect to internet (speed issues) I check my firewall... and then consult the sys manager from the net I'm connected ( the campus system manager). I hope all this discussion be useful to that guys that are looking for info in this issues on this mailing lists... like me.
