AmesMUG: Why am I only getting 35kb/sec now?

[John Rearick]

Is the slowness experienced on all the machines connected to it?  Are  
there any other devices running on the same freq. / channel that  
could be disrupting the signal such as other access points on the  
same channel or cordless phones?  Are these speeds between devices on  
the local network or to the Internet?  If it's to the Internet have  
you ruled out your Internet connection just being slow?
