Cool! They have things have set up so if you hit http://10.5.1.2 (yeah, it actually worked on that IP), it gives you connection stats, etc. Pretty sweet setup.. I'm only getting 320kbit/s right now, but the installers told me that would be the case, and to call Rythms and see how high they can get it to train.. Now.. to play with IP tunneling.. :) -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
