Yes, that's a good demonstration for technical people.<br>
I tried to do this at a LUG with audience involved theatre, but then you did<br>
it better at some Australian event.<br>
<br>
But, I'm looking for terminology that I can use with my mother-in-law.<br>
(She's just signed up with a 802.11 based rural provider for her cottage for<br>
the summer. Made financially feasible only because they'll let her cancel<br>
for 6 months when it's winter. I'm providing a modem. I suspect that the<br>
bandwidth is not-constant, so I wonder what I'll tell sql scripts...)<br>
