[PLUG] dsl questions

[epike@isinet.com]

hi list, couple of dsl questions:

1.  Does it look like i'm getting 128kbps upload?
    I should be.  How do i measure upload bandwidth?

   494486 bytes received in 29 seconds (17 Kbytes/s)
   494486 bytes received in 29 seconds (17 Kbytes/s)
   1285884 bytes received in 76 seconds (17 Kbytes/s)
   436444 bytes received in 26 seconds (17 Kbytes/s)
   436444 bytes received in 31 seconds (14 Kbytes/s)
   262364 bytes received in 15 seconds (17 Kbytes/s)


   I downloaded thru normal FTP from a friend's cable
   connection.

2. my connection (ascii art):

   --dslmodem----switch
                   |
                   +---- server 1.2.3.4.
                   |
                   +---- server 1.2.3.5
                   |
                   +---- server 1.2.3.6

  
   is it safe to telnet from server 1.2.3.4 to server
   1.2.3.5?  In other words, can the packets
   go out somehow of the dsl modem thereby allowing my
   login to be be "sniffed"?  They are all on
   the same subnet --- in this example,
   1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0  but presumably
   shared with other dsl subscribers (since I 
   only have 5 IP's).  I dont think i'll be sniffed 
   but i want to make sure.


thanks in advance
