We have experienced 95 % packet losses, 5 s average delay times and 10 min total black-outs. Last night, however, we succeeded in setting up a fiber optic link, which, I hope, permanently solves the problems. At the moment my average ping response time across the Atlantic (to sunsite.unc.edu) is 120ms and FTP transfer rate in excess of 150 kbytes/s (getting 2Mb files, unknown load at the other end). The ping response time of ftp.tex.ac.uk is about 50ms. Accessing xiron locally from the other end of the new link, I can get >500kbytes/s with FTP (access from a multiuser system with 50 users logged in; at this end, I can saturate the LAN at about 1Mbyte/s). co'o mi'e veion
