    Does anyone know of a bandwidth throttle that could be used to slow down your bandwidth? That is, I would like to be able to test 28K and 56K speed connections but I only have a 1.5 megabit cable modem. Is there anything that I can run with would all me to set a bandwidth locally coming in and out of the machine? Rocky Moore <><

    An elastic band? One of those big buggers the post office use to hold your mail together? that last part is referring to the elastic band size, not the postman Well Zachery already answered your question, so you didn't really expect anything serious did you? Besides, today is going really slow, and if I see one more regular expression I am going to buy myself a beer just to get some peace. Regex oRegExp = new Regex(@"buy myself a beer"); Message = oRegExp.Replace(Message, "slowly fry myself in rooster fat");

This brings me good memories of the 286 computers that had the "Turbo" button, to slow down the machine, so you could still play your games that had a fixed timing loop to make it run at a proper speed. :) Running things at 10Mhz that were supposed to run at 4.77Mhz was fun.

                    Roadrunners are elusive beasts; you never know when you're going to spot one, and they quickly fade from view when you do. I've seen two since the last time we talked about it, and both times I was sans camera and late for a meeting. My usual visitor to my front yard hasn't been making the rounds lately - I hope that wily coyote hasn't got him!:( I'm still working on it, though, and as soon as I catch one (on disk) I'll pass it on!

                          NIST Net can throttle bandwidth and simulate higher latencies. http://snad.ncsl.nist.gov/itg/nistnet/

                                      It's true! When I first set this up, the access point was 8 miles away or so in another state. Out here in the middle of the desert we have few trees, and the only thing visible on the horizon was one scrawny palm tree growing directly in my line of sight about 4 miles away. It worked fine for a few weeks, then it rained and my signal began dropping. We eventually figured out that the dormant palm was a nuisance, though not serious, but once the sap began to rise in the trunk after water made it to the roots it became a ground rod. Grounded objects look like bright shiny mirrors to microwaves. Redirecting my antenna to a new access point solved the problem, but I was sorely tempted for a time to sneak out in the night with a chain saw.:)

                                      "Ask not for whom the bell tolls;
                                      It tolls for thee..."

                                        Yeah, I know that feeling. A friend of mine had a line-of-site system out here and everything was fine when it was installed in the winter, but when summer hit he had virtually no signal.. Too many trees :) I am sure he thought about his chain saw a lot ;) Rocky Moore <><

                                          Does anyone know of a bandwidth throttle that could be used to slow down your bandwidth? That is, I would like to be able to test 28K and 56K speed connections but I only have a 1.5 megabit cable modem. Is there anything that I can run with would all me to set a bandwidth locally coming in and out of the machine? Rocky Moore <><

                                          I'm using NetLimiter at the moment... It has application level limiting, with separate up and down limits... http://www.netlimiter.com[^] Blade[DMS]
