Thanks, this was more information than I hoped for. It is great that OS X.3
has the Broadband optimiser functionality built in, but a shame that my ADSL
will not go any faster. Perhaps apple should have a "turbo" button as a
placebo solution for people with a slow connection; just like IBM 283 and
383 computers used to have, next to the on/off switch., Thanks again.
