Greetings!
When ever I FTP files from the internet over my DSL-connected Linux router box to my Windows machine, depending on the server, I can get a transfer rate of 120k/sec. When I FTP files from my Windows machine to one of my Linux boxes (running SuSE 6.3) the maximum speeds peaks at 35k/sec. If I'm not mistaken, 35k/sec is the maximum that can be reached with a 56k modem. Since none of my linux boxes are directly connected to the internet and I'm the only user, how I can I modify this restriction to allow faster transfers between my machines?
When I was using a 56K modem my ftp download would peak at about 4KBytes/Sec. Now that I am using ADSL, 384KBits/sec - tier 1, I can peak at about 40KBytes/sec during an ftp download, or about 80% efficiency. You have a pretty HOT 56K modem! <p>>
Thanks!

-- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites- are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.
