I am in the process of working on a mosaic site which will be used to
help students design virtual museums.  In talking with the campus
internet guru he explained to me that my machine, which is off campus will
be slow because one of the cable's which connects the machine to the main
unix service is not fiber optic cable.  It seems that if at any point
along the line the connection is not fiber optic the whole transfer
process is slowed down. I just thought I would put that out for what it's
worth.
