George We had the same problem at our library. If you can't get more bandwidth the best thing to look at is a packetshaping device. (http://www.packetshaper.com) This is what we used to control bandwidth until we got more of it. Basically what you want to do is set higher priority to your critical applications like your catalog so that those transactions get through. We just upgraded to a T3 and man what a difference. I have 2 of them sitting idle here... have any monitors to trade?
