Can you provide some        FT> example?              Change to a tunnel server that is geographically closer to you.              Just ping a bunch of them, and add a new tunnel to the server with the lowest       latency!              CU, Ricsi              ... He sets low standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.       --- GoldED+/LNX        * Origin: I don't have a solution but I admire the problem!
