Subj : DSL upgrade

If you've noticed that Vertrauen gets non-responsive sometimes (to put it
mildly), you're not alone. The problem is that the FTP servers usually have
people downloading something (Synchronet and DOVE-Net packets are the most
common) pretty much every minute of the day.

So I ordered an upgrade of my DSL service from the 1.5MBs/128kbps service I
have now to 1.5MBs/256kbps service (doubling the bandwidth from here to you).
It won't take effect until next Monday (the 20th), just in time for a new
Synchronet release (which always attracts a lot of FTP downloads, more than
usual).

If you're logging on here to play door games, use rob.synchro.net instead for
best performance of DOS doors (e.g. LORD and BRE).

Also, the most common Synchronet files are available for download off-site at
ftp.synchro.net as well (that's a high-speed, non-DSL server).
