Bob           My last boot was 8 weeks ago, and my internet receive traffic is at 4.5MB since the 
reboot..  Transmit traffic at 5.5MB.

I normally connect to WA0ROI who shows about 40 nodes and no users but his own.  Traffic to 
me about node/user connect/disconnect is almost nil.  My backup node link is to NX9G and he 
normally shows 350-400 nodes, and several thousand users.  node/user traffic is very high.  My 
debug file is several times larger when connected to NX9G.
