Great.  That's rocks.  Big deal.

I'm sure with a 45mb/sec pipe, our side would never be bogged down.  What
about the other end, though?  I doubt any outside access is slow because
of something on Purdue's side.  

NAPs love to oversubscribe by at least 8:1 .... Can't blame them... the
internet is a peak usage type of thing.  If I remember names and
numbers correctly, UUnet has a bad habit of going as high as 20:1.  So for
every 20 megs they offer in a subscription, hey can only really give 1meg
during peak usage.  (Don't quote me on numbers... but I think my point has
gotten across)
