[wplug] Configuration for one computer with sdsl & cable?

[David Tessitor]

I am assuming that by "cable" one means ATT.  A few months ago ATT sent 
out a notice to residential customers saying that they were reducing the 
upload speeds because of abuses (from customers with servers etc., I 
assume).   I forget the amount but it was significant from a server 
perspective, though as a user there was no noticeable affect.  ATT cable 
upload is still much faster than phone modem, but compared to the sdsl, 
I'd have to guess it's probably quite a bit slower now.  Of course, this 
may not apply to their commercial accounts.
