Perhaps you'd like to look at traffic shaping at the kernel level instead. See http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/ADSL-Bandwidth-Management-HOWTO/ (You should be able to just install apt-get install wondershaper, read the readme, tell it your upload and download speed, and get good results.) _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
