We NEED an alternative path. Cable's overseas access is maybe 1%
faster then a 128k line...

We ASSUMED you have 2 testicles :P
We also ASSUMED you meant full 100mbs access... but of coz the
lesson learnt is we cannot assume stuff :)

I think that having a 128k line is a important note you should
share with all of us. Or do u believe in hiding such stuff ?
If I had known it was a 128k line. I would not have withdrawned my

FAST machine as a proxy now...
