Ok.

Ok.

You have to limit the traffic on the linux router to less then your modem can 
handle so at least your modem is not the bottleneck.  So if you modem can 
handle 192kbit, I should take 185kbit or so.

If the script is working you are fine with the 160kbit ceil, I should leave it 
like that.
