Being the original poster, I didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest. Just wanted a simple answer, and this is it.

It was maybe because I was in a bad mood ;/ In common I am not unfriendly. At least I hope so. It is that with the keyword "tweaking" all bells go on at me. It comes from Windows[tm] area where it seems usual to feel kind of cool/leet if being able to change default parameters in the registry, whether that really changes anything to better or worse and whether to understand what is changed or not. I already had enough discussions with such "tweakers", already in former ISDN times when they intended to get more than the usual 7,5 up to 8 KB/sec from their line. Maybe my one word reply was harsh and inequitable in a way too. But the question woke up all experience. At least if someone can not report any problems or complaints about bad speed, that indicates to me no real need for any change. Finally, to be more accurate, here the URI for something more useful, as it explains things: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/DSL-HOWTO.html especiall part 5 might be interesting for the OP, accessable too through http://www.linuxforum.com/linux-dsl/tuning.html Alexander __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
