One suggestion: if you can tell your modem to connect at 33K instead
of 56K, you may actually get a much faster upstream connection. I
found that this would significantly speed up cvs (but then again, slow
down your web browsing). Of course, in this age of ADSL and super fast
trans-pacific cables, my commits are usually now pretty much instant
;-)
