what is the code to find out who your ISP is connected with UNIX, it would be "traceroute". Other OSes have commands with sytax(<G>) simular, such as "trace". Find a host outside of your ISP's domain (I like www.internic.com) and type: traceroute www.internic.com This will work for UNIX systems that have the command loaded on the machine. To find the speed the ISP uses you would have to call them. You can however find the round trip latencies (delays) by using the "ping" command. ping www.internic.com Regards, Paul

>>what is the code to find out who your ISP is connected with Jeff, if you are on a Wintel box, do a web search for ws_ping (ws_ping32 for W95), download and install it( it's freeware). It has a built in traceroute facility, so you can find the route from you to anywhere. That way, you don't have to mess with a Unix shell access to your ISP. here is the first place that popped up in an AltaVista search: ccs.org Keep in mind that most decent ISPs have multiple routes to the backbone, and the route out of your ISP make take a different path depending on your ultimate destination. It all depends on how they have optimized their routing tables, and it can change from one day to the next.
