Hello,

Has anyone tried this recently?  I am trying to set up an asymmetrical system 
where customers upload at a fraction of their download speed and so far to no 
avail.  Setting a rate on the Ethernet will limit the customer's download 
speed, however specifying a rate on the 802.11b interface seems to set that 
rate for download AND upload.  I have tested this just yesterday on 3.88, 4.02 
and 4.31 versions.  If my memory serves me correctly, it has however been 
possible in the past to independantly configure rates on the various interfaces.
