DSL Tweaking

Being the original poster, I didn't mean to stir up a
hornets nest. Just wanted a simple answer, and this is
it.

Thanks,

It was maybe because I was in a bad mood ;/ In common
I am not
unfriendly. At least I hope so.
It is that with the keyword "tweaking" all bells go on
at me. It comes
from Windows[tm] area where it seems usual to feel
kind of cool/leet if
being able to change default parameters in the
registry, whether that
really changes anything to better or worse and whether
to understand
what is changed or not. I already had enough
discussions with such
"tweakers", already in former ISDN times when they
intended to get more
than the usual 7,5 up to 8 KB/sec from their line.
Maybe my one word reply was harsh and inequitable in a
way too. But the
question woke up all experience. At least if someone
can not report any
problems or complaints about bad speed, that indicates
to me no real
need for any change.

Finally, to be more accurate, here the URI for
something more useful, 
as
it explains things:

especiall part 5 might be interesting for the OP,
accessable too 
through
http://www.linuxforum.com/linux-dsl/tuning.html
