[TriLUG] PoPToP VPN performance

[Turnpike Man]

Were you copying the files "from" home "to" work via the vpn?  Your cable modem
upload (if time warner rr in NC) has max upload around 45 KB/sec plus you
hopefully have encyption occurring.  If you were going from work to home, I
would expect this transfer to take 3-6 hours depending on network conditions
and your pipe at work (I'm presuming T1).
