If you give me your IP address, I can ping *from* Columbia.edu to your machine and see what I get, that should pretty much solve any issues that may arise. -- Jonathan

Not *this* Earth, what with real equipment and all. I get 22ms to my home machine less than 6 miles from my work machine via DSL. Both machines have very good connectivity, but there are delay artifacts in the world. And pinging ctr.columbia.edu from my machine in Southern California gets me 70 ms. Neither of those should show the DSL artifact. Columbia's not 9065 miles away, even by wire length. And, not to be too pedantic, you've calculated the 2/3c distance for 110ms, not 11 ms. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
