	As a reference I have 4.7Mbit/sec and 437Kbit/sec for the regular Shaw. 
A second test showed 5.5Mbit/sec and 438Lbit/sec. Your hub is still 
faster than Shaw. Of course everything on the other side of your Linux 
box will remain the same.

	BTW, Lindsay was thinking of dropping by to see if we could help out in 
person. Good to see you fixed the problem without us. ;-)
