Hi Larry,

Good work!  Using lots of bandwidth is rewarded by giving you more!

My understanding is that the new switch can negotiate a speed with the
remote site, and if both can transfer at the 100Mb rate, that's what
you'll get.  Coupled with the upcoming gigabyte link, this sounds like a
significant improvement.  Glad to hear it!

Sounds like it may be a few weeks until the new link and the new ports
are installed, so I don't think you'll see a difference right away.
