correct.

that would be great.

not better, but not worse either.
i am mostly interrested in ssh to my machine.
i use my office-box as proxy for anything anyways,
so the real speed will depend on the link from freenet to my office.

connecting directly to my box will make sure i get 33.6
(apart from line quality)
