Dennis: 13 hops to this server doesn't [look] very good does it?

I haven't seen many routes with less than 10 hops to *any* web site other than my ISP's home page! <G>

The important thing is the average round trip time and that there isn't a big step from one node to another somewhere in the chain or more than a very few lost packets (which are listed near the left side of the data table).

If you read something under 3-400 milliseconds consistently using a dialup connection it's probably going to work okay, IMHO. Actually, my modem connection is usually the biggest delay.
