Oooooh. Not bad at all. Not too much jitter and doesn't seem lossy.
This is at the same time as I'm saturating the 10Mbps part of the network with a local FTP of a 22Gb file that I need to move over to my Alpha machine.
22GB at 10Mbps? That could take you a while. ;)
Great stress test though.
Also, HECnet needs some leased lines between locations for maximum authenticity. Along with period-accurate modems. ;)
I wonder how many telcos will still give you a plain leased line over POTS...
I am very happy.
